Core Meaning

Feelings that come from the depths of the soul. A messenger and harbinger of true love. These are the desires and emotions that inspire the knight to travel and perform heroic deeds for his fair lady. Just as Lancelot of the Lake accepts his feelings, passions, and sufferings for Queen Guinevere and lives them with complete awareness.

Visual Description

A young knight in plate armor stands on a rocky shore under a starlit, cloudy sky, holding the reins of a dark horse. Cups are embossed on his shoulder and chest armor, and a flowing cloak and scale-like skirt hang over his greaves. Behind them the sea churns with pale, curling waves and a banner at the bottom reads 'KNIGHT OF CUPS'.
