The Hermit of Frost

“He carries the last light through the endless snow.”

Realm: Whisper & Shadow
Symbol: A lantern of blue flame carried by a cloak wanderer upon icy mountain path
Meaning (Upright): Introspection, solitude, wisdom gained through stillness
Meaning (Reversed): Isolation,  fear of truth, withdrawal from life

Lore:
When the world's first winter came, the gods fled to their fires - all but one.
A long figure took up a lantern of frostlight and walked into the blizzard to preserve the last spark of wisdom.
He found in silence the voice that speaks behind all voices.
Since that age, the Hermit walks the frozen passes between realms, seeking no throne, carrying only the memory of what is true.

To draw his card is to be summoned to solitude, to listen for the soul's whisper amid the world's noise.
Reversed, it warns of retreat without reflection - the kind that freezes the heart rather than clarifies it.

Prophecy Verse:
"One light against the storm is enough.
The wise walk alone, yet never truly apart."
