The Cards
The Cards are believed by Earth historians to be the origin of the tarot. They go back tens of thousands of years, possibly before the Time of Forgetting, They are similar to the Earth tarot cards, but there are significant differences. The Cards is associated with the Travelers Guild and is sometimes called The Travelers Game.
Using The Cards
The Cards are employed in three primary ways:
- Playing: card games, sometimes gambling;
- Decision-making: focusing the mind; and
- A Telling: finding paths for story-telling.
The cards may be laid out in several ways, depending on how they’re to be used. A Telling spread, such as Vasi Sra uses in Entanglement, is laid out in three rows of three cards each. The three columns represent Past, Present, and Future, (note: the Future should never be viewed as predictive. It is simply a way to examine possible futures presented by the facts of the Present.)
