* STAG: The Stag symbolizes Effortless Courage, which draws and recovers energy even on the most adverse occasions.

* WALL: The Wall represents the Noble Heart of the Knight, in which no betrayal or disloyalty can enter.

* NETTLE: The Nettle symbolizes Affliction.

* RAVEN: The Raven is a symbol of the Bold and Courageous Spirit that risks itself in defense of its benefactors.

* CINQUEFOIL: The Cinquefoils symbolize Hope and Joy.
