From best-selling author and illustrator Fez Inkwright comes The Citadel, a fresh take on oracle decks that is seeped in the magic of fantasy literature, Tolkien’s Middle Earth, and tabletop gaming – an intriguing combination of storytelling and cartomancy!
Each of the cards focuses on a fantasy. heroic or legendary archetype, which provides a fresh way to read cards.
The whole deck can also be used as a storytelling device, and it’s in this understanding that the guidebook takes this reader on a tale. Each of the 60 cards in this deck represents a person living within the Citadel. The guidebook describes different scenes that the reader will encounter while travelling through the city, including the stories of each character and the interpretation of each card.
Beyond cartomancy, The Citadel can supplement tabletop role-play games, generating new worlds, characters, and encounters for fantasy gameplay.
Box size: 91 x 141 x 55 (mm)
Why we love it
We adore the archetypes that this deck explores- it’s something we’ve never seen before and we love it! It’s fresh, new and incredibly interesting. The shape of the cards is also very unique, and the artistry of the cards is gorgeous. Each card also has copper coloured gilding on the surface- a beautiful contrasting colour to the black and white imagery. If you’re more of of a fan of humans on cards, you probably won’t get much out of this deck. But if you work well with symbolism- this deck would be perfect for you!
