The Universal Waite king holds his cup casually. He is used to it, and while he values it, he is not obsessed with it. He moves across the water with confidence. Both sides of this king are shown in the images on either side of his throne.

The Shadowscapes king surrounds himself with creatures who understand the flow of water—sea horses and turtles. He identifies with these unique creatures, for he, too, knows the currents of emotions and the power of dreams. He understands and makes good use of them.
