The Sunblade

“From the heart of night, the day rises unafraid.”

Realm: Flame & Vein
Symbol: A radiant sword forged from pure sunlight, piercing the horizon
Meaning (Upright): Joy, clarity, truth revealed, triumph
Meaning (Reversed): Overconfidence, false optimism, burnout

Lore:
When the first dawn broke after the long age of shadow, it did not come as gentle light but as a blade - cutting through the veil of night, separating truth from illusion.
The Sunblade is both weapon and benediction; its brilliance exposes all, even the hidden flaws of the wielder.
Its warmth is victory hard-earned, illumination that follows long darkness.

To draw this card is to stand in one's power, to act without deceit or doubt.
Reversed, it warns that the same light that heals may also blind - that triumph without humility becomes hubris.

Prophecy Verse:
"Be not afraid to shine, yet guard against your glare.
The light reveals, but also consumes."
