The Deck

Every card the tarot reader can deal at the Festival, as of Season 14. A card turned face up is in play, held by a living cricketer. A plain back waits in the deck; a burned back was sacrificed to the fire.

The twenty-two Majors sit above fifty-six Minors across four houses. The Majors are eternal and unique, only ever dormant while waiting for their next living avatar. The Minors are temporary, and the only cards that can be burned away for good.
