Fairy Tarots ~ The Emperor IV

My first thought on seeing this little guy, was that he is the Steve Urkel of Emperors, but maybe I'm just projecting.. I know that this is my birth card, and for several years now, I have looked like this (sort of a mess).

The throne looks too big for him, as does his helmet. The white flowing beard shows his age, and the dragon on his helmet indicates the fire sign associated with this card (Aries - my sign). A large eagle stands regally behind the thrones, wings folded, at rest. I'm wondering how this Emperor wields such a large sword.

I have yet to read the book description. I'm just trying to get something going here, as part of my deck of the week work...

I like the two furry creatures, curled up underneath his throne. :)

I was just reading the book, and the description of him using the sword, reminded me of Ned Stark in Game of Thrones: he tells his sons, at the beginning of the book/movie, that if you hand out a death sentence, then you should be the one to take care of/kill the person accused of the crime.
