Page of Swords

The Page of Swords learns to watch before acting. He holds the blade high, his attention awake, and looks for the exact wording of what he notices.

What the card shows

A young figure holds his sword up, clothes stirred by the wind, clouds behind him. His gaze sweeps the surroundings without fixing on any one point.

Its light

Methodical curiosity pays: you look for the source, you spot the contradiction, and the wind that flattens the clothes pushes you to check before you conclude.

Its shadow

Watchfulness slides towards suspicion: you check every claim and you doubt the intention behind the sentence, so that the other person goes quiet.
