Description of The Tower
The Tower card depicts a dark scene with a mighty, high stone tower perched atop a rocky outcropping. Smoke billows out of it as it is engulfed in flames and being struck by lightning as if they were being smitten by the Hand of God.

Above the tower is the visage of a golden crown falling as if it were atop the king's head.
