Meaning

A burning tower, its walls crumbling along with the equilibrium that had been achieved. Lightning from external circumstances strikes it down.

Visual Description

A tall stone tower rises against a dark, stormy sky, cracked down its center and shedding chunks of masonry. Bright yellow lightning forks across the clouds while orange-red flames flare from windows and openings in the tower. Rubble and broken stones tumble downward and pinkish clouds gather at the base. The card displays the Roman numeral "XVI" above the title "THE TOWER" at the bottom.
