The Tarot

A mystic tradition dating all the way back to The Awakening, originating in the city of Zessgorn. Its origin is heavily debated amongst historians. This long standing tradition consists divining truths about fate and the future through the usage of special cards called Tarot Cards. Those who practice this tradition are known as The Tarot.

These cards are carefully crafted and cared for. They are not innately magical, but their connection to a person is a very sacred, and powerful thing. Despite being crafted from mundane materials, Divination magic can reveal that the once non-magical cards of a Tarot reader posses strong Divination magic of their own. According to members of The Tarot tradition, this magic comes from the intent of the user placed upon the cards. The cards reveal paths the future may hold, and it takes a very keen, and open mind to comprehend the messages held within the cards. Reading Tarot is a skill that needs to be carefully cultivated.

Zessgorn’s culture was largely formed around significance of their cards. Most notably, a set of magical rings were made using Imbuement Perpetuum. Each ring gave its wearer power, both magical and cultural. These relics acted as the pillars which Zessgorn’s societal structure was formed around. However, a power struggle for these rings eventually broke out within the city, and the nature of the Zessgorn was reshaped.
