Title

TWO OF SHIELDS

Description

Two people sit next to a fire. They are both dressed in light armor and have their shields sitting next to them. A beast roasts over the spit. Each person has a part of the animal in their hands to sustain themselves. The sun hangs low in the air signifying the day's end. It looks like it's going behind the mountains. These people either have to hurry to get back to the clan or spend an evening under the stars. A single Rune appears in the air above the spit.

Upright

taking a break, handling your energy levels, finding the path, equilibrium, juggling more than you can.

Reversed

too many concurrent tasks, being too rigid, being taken for granted, narrow-minded view.

Bind Rune

Visual Description

Two armored figures sit by a small campfire in a golden valley at sunset, one seen from behind with braided hair and the other perched on a rock sipping from a cup. Two large round shields carved with runes lean nearby, and strips of meat roast over the flames between them. Above the scene a small round pentacle marked with the number 2 and a rune float against the sky, while distant mountains frame a glowing sun near the horizon.
