Core Meaning

In the pursuit of truth and wisdom, one can bury something important. Be careful not to kill your own optimism and faith along the way.

Visual Description

A armored figure in a horned helmet crouches on the edge of a stone battlement, one hand gripping a long upright sword planted beside him. He wears a flowing cloak shaped like wings and gazes out over a winding river, dark forest and distant hills beneath a brooding, clouded sky. The stonework of the tower and an arched window appear to his left, and the figure's posture is alert and poised for action. A horizontal sword emblem appears in the top border and a small crown-like symbol is centered at the bottom.
