Five of Swords
Air
conflict, defeat, dishonor, win at all costs, hollow victory
A smug figure collects fallen swords while two defeated figures walk away in shame. Victory achieved through underhanded means leaves everyone diminished.
↑ Upright
Be careful how you pursue this win — a victory with broken relationships and lost integrity is not worth having.
↓ Reversed
A painful conflict is ending. Before moving forward, choose whether you want to reconcile or simply release what cannot be repaired.
