Card 30

Messiah

Value: 7
Visions • Swans • Blades • Water

Meanings: Change, salvation, familial love


Many fear change. Others embrace it eagerly. Often—not always, but often—the former live happy and satisfying situations, while the latter do not. In other words, change is a salvation that not everyone needs.

The Messiah is the defender of the Visions family. She defends by changing the things that threaten or menace. As a defender, the Messiah is particularly concerned with families, and the bonds of love that exist there.


Divination: First and foremost, the Messiah portends change. The source of the change is almost certainly external to the person in question. More often than not, this is a positive change, and in fact the worse things are for the person, the more likely that the change will be positive. The Messiah can indicate the involvement of a beloved family member, like a parent or a sibling. This involvement is not always positive.

Game Narrative: Something changes drastically. A new leader (or other prominent figure) emerges.

Joy: Something negatively affecting the PC changes for the better. The PC is saved from certain doom by an outside force. Something good happens to a close family member of the PC.

Despair: Something good that the PC has changes for the worse. An object of importance to the PC breaks or stops working. Something terrible happens to the PC’s family.


She brings salvation, but at the cost of changing everything in your existence.
