Mystical cards

This page is about the artefact legend deck cards. For other uses, please see cards (disambiguation).

The mystical cards of Achaean legend, sometimes called Articards, bestow a variety of powers upon their users, from melting icewalls to interplanar travel. When first acquired they appear in decorated sleeves. Unwrapping the first sleeve gives an empty deck—the cards' receptacle—along with a random card. On their own, empty decks can be purchased with mementoes from Tinker Drucker in Petra.
