Sköll's Grief Tarot

From Threesong

Revision as of 17:00, 27 August 2025 by Fio (talk | contribs)

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:

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:

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:

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:

Ace of Cups:

Seven of Cups:

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:

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:

Seven of Staves:

Nine of Staves:

Princess of Staves:

Prince of Staves:
