Royal and matronly, the Empress sits
enthroned among rich fields, clad in rich
garments, and crowned with a starry open
crown. Befitting her position, she bears a
sceptre, for hers is the realm of universal
fecundity and wealth.

Upright, she signifies material wealth,
productivity for farmers and creative
workers, profitability for merchants; practical
application of knowledge.
 

The next time treasures are divided, the
drawer will receive some item which will
turn out to be worth an extra 3d6 thousand <$30,000 to $180,000>
GP; but even the drawer will
NOT notice until at least three days later.

Reversed, she signifies poverty, sterility,
inability to produce; waste |or| dissipation
|or| resources.

The next time treasures are divided, the
drawer will receive an item which will
prove to be worthless (a seemingly magickal
mace which actually has Nystul's
magic aura on it, a "ruby" which is actually
cut glass, etc.) as the largest part of
his treasure share, but will not notice for
at least 3 days.
