With a turn of the cards, a Stone Giant breaks loose from the Granite Mountains, leaving a path of destruction through the Regency of the Stands.

Captain Ferriman turns to a blind herb trader named Cerra Meadows in the hopes she can help him navigate the sorcerous paths that threaten the peace of the Empire.

The Ace of Swords

The Ace of Swords embodies one of the characters drawn into the plot involving ‘The Deck of the Numinon’. Sinjin is a hired assassin, engaged to interfere in the political proceedings, only to find some other assassin has the same mark. He becomes torn between his assignment and unknowns of sorcery. According to the Book that accompanies the Deck, the Ace of Swords embodies the following characteristics:

The gleaming sword resembles the purity of the weapon represented by the Ace of Roses, though here it is scarred by use. It pierces the fragile petals of a flower which is held between two crissknives in front of a dark and chaotic background, neither deep ocean nor sky, yet both. The knives hold the flower by their points in a delicate balance as the sword pierces it, holding it in place upon the blade, which accordingly is inscribed with the word of the law. The flower is Justice and the damage of the sword allows for its power, as it remembers the conflicts of the past and envelops those in its sphere. The need for justice is borne in regret. Alone, the Ace of Swords has little power. Adjacent to the Major Arcana, it increases the power of the ruling card and its own ten fold, such is the weight of its sword.

The damage to the sword is old for it is Sorrow, sorrow over past hurts, losses or separation. Sorrow applies hard lessons on the desire for relationships and becomes a natural event that all will experience. The Ace is also bound to the cards of justice and adjustment, so there is a link to Sorrow in the universal law of cause and effect. All existence is inherently Sorrow as all are separated from the purity of intent and is quickly replaced by a damaged element.
