Although I am uncertain of some of the visual details, I am fascinated by the story behind the Legend Nine of Spears, the Wind Harps of War. Apparently the Celts erected these great harps upon their cliffs as protective weapons, and as the wild winds thrummed the strings would be attackers heard the eerie voices of the Land's guardian spirits rise up in defense.
In the imagery of the card, a wild rainstorm pelts the rocks and merges with the sea surging against the bleak cliffs. A giant harp has been erected on each side of the rocky gorge. In the foreground I am puzzled by the details. There appears to be the skeleton of a fallen warrior, perhaps left there in grim warning. Behind him, near the edge of the surge channel, is that an archer struggling against the wind, with a quiver of arrows across his side? On the further side of the gorge, is there perhaps another guard seated beside a fire? In any event, no matter what the details, this is an impressive card.
