A knight sits motionless on a heavy horse, studying a single pentacle. He does not move until he is sure — reliable, patient, enduring.

Symbolism

A heavy horse stands still as its rider studies a single pentacle with complete attention. Unlike every other knight — there is no motion. No gallop, no quest. He moves only when he is certain. This is the discipline that builds what endures.
