Sköll's Grief Tarot

Eepiy's self-made Tarot deck, it includes themes of the Swallowed Sun of Ysgard, which are common with her and Yayik, mixed with themes from the Way of the True Apocalypse, an order in Threesong's Temple of which she is a nun. The backs have a checkerboard, red and black with gold lines, and a red sun with abstract triangle-type shine lined in thick white to offset it from the checkers, and entwining cursive blessings and curses (which is which is subject to interpretation) in Tartarean and Celestial. The suits are Coins, Swords, Cups, and Staves, the court cards are Princess, Prince, Queen, and King, and pip cards 2-10 have secondary titles. Eepiy used herself as the model for the Princess and Queen of Staves, the King of Cups, and The Devil, while Yayik modeled all four sword courts.

The party has yet to be told any Fables about the pictures, but they are related to other decks. It is performed with the Hati's Rille Spread in Episode 8.

VII: The Chariot: A Greek-style sphinx dominates a road, crushing a wagon and its horses with a giant paw while a middle-aged farmer in a red pileus stumbles back on the ground.

VIII: Justice:

Ace of Coins: A great bronze coin with a wolf-arcanaloth face in profile facing left with a closed eye, wearing a hood with flames like Eepiy's. The background has a mottle of blues and greens suggestive of a forest pond.

Two of Coins, Transformation: Two coins are interlocked perpendicularly halfway through each other, and the serpent Homer entwines them. The edges of the picture have a deep red glow, like a damage warning in a video game.

Four of Coins, Tithe: A baker lady pours four oversized coins from a basket onto a stone street. Shadow-hands creep across the pavement towards the coins.

Five of Coins:

Queen of Coins:

Three of Swords, Tragedy: A maidenly knight stands arching back and looking up to the right, her hair flowing in the wind, her hands held up together in prayer. Three swords all pierce her heart through the armor, and she cries one red teardrop.

Six of Swords, Technique: A knight in medium breastplate stands in a boat and points at his forehead with both fingers, a psychic powers pose; Six swords float in the air above and before him, pointing forward up and over the viewer's left.

Nine of Swords, Oppression: An armored knight points a sword down as if the viewer is on the floor, with eight other swords floating in the air above them.

Princess of Swords: A fencer in fancy royal mithril breastplate jumps up with a saber, slashing excitedly

Prince of Swords: A soldier in cheap and bulbous plate mail with his visor up rides a war lizard down a dirt road among wheat fields. His saber is out in his hand by his side, but he's calm and focusing on the distance.

Ace of Cups:

Seven of Cups, Phantasy: A laughing frog with spiral eyes in a crappy wizard costume hops on two legs, laughing gleefully in front of seven cups from which fanciful things like unicorns, rainbows, stars and pixies spring forth. There are fluffy rain clouds sprinkling gently in the background, far away.

Nine of Cups, Happiness: A 3x3 black and white checkerboard with a gold grail in each. A rainbow froth pours from each cup, collecting a little on the bottom of its tile before spilling down the next and eventually flooding the bottom of the card.

Princess of Cups: Everything blends into each other as different shades of blue, extending not quite halfway towards purple or green. A girl in a flowy Elizabethan sort of gown pours a great basin of water over herself while standing on clean stone tiles with no coherent background. The way the thin fabric clings is lovingly detailed.

Two of Staves, Dominion: Light greens with grassy vertical strokes fade into a yellow in the upper third of the background, and two staves cross with a fully saturated red paint that contrasts the pastels behind it almost like writing on a picture; The staves have birds carved for the heads, with fiery plumes of feathers.

Three of Staves:

Four of Staves: Four wooden rods are balanced precariously against each other in a pyramid, holding a glass ball in their crux. They stand in a large, unadorned, and unlit stone hall that could have once been a royal court, with some shafts of light coming through glassless windows. The cracks in and between the floor tiles emit an eerie yellow light, similar to a Hyperspace Anomaly.

Seven of Staves, Tension: Two sparring fighters in a dojo lock quarterstaves and eyes with intense lesbian tension. The remaining five staves are held by other students back by the wall.

Nine of Staves, The Roar: Nine vertical staves crowd the frame in a row, engulfed in flames, leaving no space for background.

Princess of Staves: Eepiy in elaborate white and red cleric/nun robes points a thyrsus, a pinecone-tipped staff wreathed in ivy, at the ground, from whence abstract flames rise up and make a flat background behind her, and she's howling upward.

Prince of Staves:
