The Tribute

The Tribute

The Tribute will teach you the true worth of a gift. As with most traditions, the First Men engaged in activities of gift-giving, which is not exclusively one-directional. Gifting is performed by all parties involved. This card depicts a playful young man with his puppy companion (a gift perhaps?) gifting an axe – a useful tool for crafting, hunting, or battle. The favor is to be returned in kind with gains from using the tool – chopped wood, nourishing game from a hunt, or a victory for the protection of the commune. The noteworthiness action of the gifting process is the most significant meaning than the material objects involved.
