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.
