A BROKEN DECK. A THOUSAND-YEAR LIE. A SINGLE LEAP.
For a millennium, the continent has bled along a severed border. To the west lies Chariotea, dominion of Swords and Wands, where ambition without mercy turns to slaughter. To the east lies Arcadia, sanctuary of Cups and Pentacles, where protection without freedom hardens into a cage.
In this world, every soul is born a Tarot card. Kept in balance, you stand Upright. Pushed too far by war, grief, or fear, you flip Reversed—the tragedy of becoming too much of yourself.
And at the exact moment of the flip, the Broker is waiting. He sells iron to the west, gold to the east, and quietly harvests the debts of a dying continent.
Into this grid of walls and armies steps the Fool.
A zero-card anomaly named Folan, bound by no king and unburdened by crowns, he has pried open a forgotten vault and unearthed an impossible truth: the deck was never meant to be apart.
Now, with both empires marching toward total ruin, those on the front lines face an impossible choice. Retreat into the safety of the cages they know—or follow a thief over the edge of the world to find out if we were meant to be whole.
The cards are dealt. The deck is in motion.
