...a mystery from ancient times, a window into the future,
a card game in casinos and taverns across the continent. The Zodar deck is
many things to many people.
The Rahastran people, in particular the Rahastran cartomancers, believe
in it's prophetic abilities, and speak of it as though it were a sentient
force. They believe that they are guided by the Zodar, like students
following a master.
Cymrilian scholars have studied it's properties, theorizing about it's
symbolism, the quasi-religeous beliefs of the Rahastrans, and the deeper
meaning behind it's form and function... They have also lost a great deal of
money in games of Zodar, performing "research".
Sarista fortune-tellers, Zandir card-sharks, even Vird infantrymen
passing the pre-dawn hours before battle all use these cards in various
ways. The truth of their deeper nature may never be known.
