How this deck reads it

The stone throne carved with rams is a symbol of authority and structure, and the solid stone material gives a sense of stability. The red and gold scale armor reveals power and discipline, and the parts adorned with mother-of-pearl reflect light and add the splendor of authority. The scepter in one hand and the golden orb in the other symbolize control and order, and the winged helmet suggests dominion and protection. The iridescent mountain peaks rising behind show a stable world built upon a firm foundation.

Artwork
