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'.
