King of Swords
Authority is legitimate only when it serves truth. The King of Swords sits in judgment, sword raised not for attack but for discernment. The butterflies and birds surrounding him suggest that clarity attracts; the throne's position indicates he has earned his vantage through right use of intellect. This is mental leadership: the capacity to perceive complex patterns, communicate them clearly, and make decisions that serve justice rather than personal preference.
