Darlita's Tarot Deck
Darlita's Tarot Decks were given out to about two dozen adventurers, maybe more or less, in the year 5099. These special decks were to be used only when her Gypsy Troupe scryed in scheduled sessions. Each deck was attuned to a gypsy.
To use the cards, which looked like a deck of enruned cards, you Tap, Tilt, Turn and/or Touch them.
