What this card is
A man stands on his own battlements holding a small globe, one wand bolted to the wall beside him and the other in his hand, looking past everything he has built toward the sea. He already has something solid. This card is the moment of surveying: what you hold, where you might take it. It is planning with the door still open, not the journey itself.
