A set of cards was created by the judges of Zurash during the Age of the Wounding to attempt to balance the fortune, misfortune, greed, and desire in the world. These cards were at first inconsequential without the power of a Divine of Balance behind them, but in the wake of the new Divine of that sphere's rise, the cards became much more potent and sought after. Not quite Gifted, they still act as fulcrums of power for those seeking fortune and wealth. The cards exist as either Diamond, Heart, Club, or Spade, each house representing a force. They can be altered, however, through mystical means, to change the flow of the forces.

Sessions:
1. Diamonds:
If all of the cards are set to "Diamond," the shebvic energies of mashoaab are dominant in the world. Accumulation becomes easier and economies flourish, and anyone who controls the cards rise to the top. Players would be agents of the Diamond Bank, the most powerful financial institution in the world, transporting three Diamond cards to a safe location.

PCs:

TBD - Liam

Osman Shafir - Ben

2. Hearts:
When the cards are set to "Heart," the mashoaab is lessened and other forms of desire rise in the world. Agents of the Beloved Divine obviously seek to use these cards to make Love more prominent rather than Greed. Players would be wielders of dumaqu seeking to alter a card from Diamond to Heart somehow.

PCs:

3. Clubs:
If the cards are uniformly set to "Club," fortune will become the dominant flowing energy. Good luck comes to anyone with a card set to Club. Players would be operatives of the Quietgrace Omni Corp trying to stop an unidentified man with a Club card from ripping off their casino.

PCs:

4. Spades:
The "Spade" house is, of course, misfortune. These cards are insidious weapons that can be wielded only by those who follow the Dragon of Misfortune or similar powers. Others who end up with one merely suffer misfortunes. Players would be representatives of Littany Corporation seeking to plant a Spade card in a Monsapple Trading Company stronghold.

PCs:

NPCs:
Diamonds:
Antony Salvatore, notorious swindler and embezzler on the run from Diamond Bank agents
Theobald Dane, doppelganger drunk
Velasco Quail, Antony's partner in crime

Hearts:
Louis Peltier, Galdish musician and dumaqu user
Marceline Jericho, dumaqu master

Clubs:
Quartermain Gray, mercenary and possible owner of the Club card
York Huntley, Gentleman Adventurer and possible owner of the Club card
Peadar Corbannon, drunken rogue and possible owner of the Club card

Spades:
