The Tarot of Dust

The Tarot of Dust has five suits of eleven cards each: seven pips, a page, a knight, a queen, and a king. It is used primarily by Tharici, young scribes in the Hulder, and as a pleasant way to pass the time and tell fortunes in Oresund and Akathia.

You may download the card images from this page, to print them out for your use. Limited numbers of pre-printed and cut decks will be available for sale at events. At the moment, we have the Major Arcana and the Face Cards available by image and packaged as .zip files. Right click on the links and click 'save as' to save the files. You can find more in-depth meanings for the minor arcana here.
