Each family is led by its Prime and defended by its Lance. There are, of course, cards which do not fall into the families...”“The Lances defend. They are rigid, sharp-edged, defined. The Primes, though, are the start of things. And also the ends. Magicians like the Prime cards because they mean everything, you know. The appearance of a Prime simplifies the reading, she may have told you this; two Primes and it practically shouts. Five Primes is absurd...”by the Termagant's examples, the Seven of Ships and the Lance of Ships (in the earlier post) are probably the Water cards</blockquote>
