| The painting is rendered in the Renaissance style. The scene is composed inside a rocky cave, near the cave's opening. On the left side of the painting, closest to and framed by the outline of the cave opening, is Kier Eagan, wearing a belted tunic and robe, reminiscent of a biblical figure. He sports the fearsome beard which graced his face later in life. He is illuminated from behind by the light coming into the cave. He is white haired and bearded. In his right hand he holds a [[cat_o_nine_tails|cat o’ nine tails]] aloft, as if preparing to strike. In the lore of Kier, each flail of the cat o’ nine tails is meant to represent one of [[core_principles]]. | The painting is rendered in the Renaissance style.

| - | The painting is clearly inspired by the words of Kier Eagan when he said, "In my life, I have identified four components, which I call //[[tempers]]//, from which are derived every human soul. Woe. Frolic. Dread. Malice. Each man's character is defined by the precise ratio that resides in him. I walked into the cave of my own mind, and there I tamed them. Should you tame the tempers as I did mine, then the world shall become but your appendage." | + | The painting is clearly inspired by the words of Kier Eagan when he said, "In my life, I have identified four components, which I call //[[the_four_tempers]]//, from which are derived every human soul.
