Madam Eva February 9, The burning of myrrh reveals you must listen for the next strange cellar. Pre-order a tarokka deck from Gale Force A scent of neroli, a flash of copper: it attracts steadfast twig blights. The cards are divided into five suits: Stars (magic), knives (warriors and combatants), crowns (evil), seals (townsfolk) and runes/holy symbols (priests). The cards have been seen already, but we also love the “fortunes” from the adventure that will help guide adventures through Ravenloft. The 54-card deck has gorgeous art from Chuck Lukacs, and it has slowly been revealed by the official D&D Twitter account. In Curse of Strahd, the mysterious Madam Eva reveals your fortune and tells you where to find the tools and friends to defeat Strahd within the land of Ravenloft. Most important to the 5th edition adventure is the Tarokka Deck, a deck of cards that tells fortunes and guides the players through the adventure. Forbidden Lore and the Ravenloft Tarokka Deck disagree on the meaning of the positions in the basic cross, but it's possible that each Vistana has their own style.In the new Dungeons & Dragons adventure, Curse of Strahd, players travel to Castle Ravenloft to face the evil forces of the vampire Strahd von Zarovich. The fortune teller (or DM) must analyse the symbolism of each card and develop a reading based on them. In each case, the positions of the cards within the pattern each have a meaning with respect to the focus card, and each card has multiple symbolic connotations. The focus card sits in the center of the row of three. "The Pyramid" is a triangle made of four rows of cards: 4 cards at the base, and 1 at the top. The "Tower" is a basic cross with a row of 3 cards above the cross and another row of 3 below it. The "Expanded Cross" adds an additional card in each direction. The most common is the "basic cross" with one card on each side, above and below. Then other cards are laid out around the focus card in one of several patterns.
The deck is used by first choosing a "Focus card" to represent the subject of the reading. (Also, all "The"s have been removed from the names of all cards) The 5th edition D&D: Curse of Strahd - Tarokka Deck makes further changes, including removing all gendered references, and reverting some names to the 2e versions, as follows: The two decks also disagree on which suit corresponds to which element. And the master cards, as well as several other cards, are associated with specific Darklords or other NPCs. Also the Master of each suit doesn't have a name beyond "The Master/Mistress of _." Also, each Master card is considered to be rank 10 in that suit, whereas in the Forbidden Lore version, the Masters have no numerical rank. In the Ravenloft Tarokka Deck, The Invoker is called the Evoker, and the Traitor is called the Heretic. The cards of the lesser deck are named as shown in the following table.
In the 3rd edition Ravenloft Tarokka Deck, The Darklord is replaced with The Dark Master, The Ghost is replaced with The Spirit, The Donjon is replaced with The Prison, and the Esper is replaced with the Hero. The high deck consists of the following suit-less cards: The Darklord, The Artifact, The Horseman, The Marionette, The Innocent, The Temptress, The Mists, The Donjon, The Hangman, The Ghost, The Broken One, The Raven, The Beast, and The Esper. Each suit is also tied to an element, and each rank to an alignment. Each suit corresponds to a 2nd edition class: wizard, priest, rogue, and warrior, respectively. The lesser deck consists of 10 cards in each of 4 suits: stars, glyphs, coins and swords. The deck included in the 2nd edition Forbidden Lore (and republished in the Red Box) consists of 54 cards, and is divided into a "lesser deck" and a "high deck". A Tarokka Deck is the traditional deck of fortune-telling cards used by the Vistani.
