King of Swords
Why this step
On this site the King of Swords is the high-seat speaker who commands a room through clarity rather than volume. The entry honours authority earned by understanding a subject well enough to explain it simply. Its reversed reading matters in a dispute: a speaker who can explain anything but has stopped noticing what the explanation costs the people hearing it.
