Det är nog en del av lösningen åtminstone, att visa att gudarna faktiskt finns. Och vill man inte använda gudarna funkar järtecken säkert också.
Så jag skrev ihop ett system och började skissa på kort; även om jag inte kan ha kort som ändrar fokus så kände jag att det vore häftigt att ha en actual kortlek att spela med. Jag blev aldrig klar med kortleken dock, men iom den här tråden känner jag att jag kanske skulle fortsätta med det så att den blir klar nån gång.The Deck of Dragons, sometimes referred to as the Fatid, was the dominant oracular system in the majority of the world, with the exception of the Lether continent which used its predecessor, the Tiles. It is possible they will be succeeded by the Coins in the future.
The Deck was made up of a series of cards, depicting the various members of the pantheon. The deck accurately portrayed the pantheon, creating new cards as were necessary for new members. Most cards represented a specific roles within Houses, with a few non-aligned cards that were without a House.
During a reading, cards were dealt one at a time, with the resulting divination dependant on which cards came out. Different patterns could be used to lay down the Deck, e.g. in a spiral (showing what card would be the focus of attention) or in blocks (what way the local powers would oppose each other).
The look of a card would depend on the local conditions. It could change slightly of its own accord depending on where the reading was performed, showing how the world and pantheon were unfolding. For example, during the events of Gardens of the Moon, the card of Oponn would probably show the Twins no matter where the reading was performed; on Genabackis, however, the card would also show a spinning Coin next to the Twins.
However, not only the attributes or background of a card could change, but also the focus point of a card. Most positions in the Deck of Dragons are taken by only one person, usually an Ascendant. When this card shows up in a reading of the Deck, it does not have to refer to this Ascendant but most of the time refers to a person in the local area and who is close the position portrayed. During one reading on Seven Cities, for example, the card of the Assassin of High House Shadow showed up, referring to Kalam as the local Assassin as opposed to Cotillion, the actual Assassin. On another continent, the card would probably have a different look to it.
The Deck has a Master, Ganoes Paran, who can add cards and sanction new Houses.
