Card 48

Golden Ship

Value: 2
Notions • Cats • Clocks • Wind

Meanings: Wealth earned, honor, prestige, respect


There are many ships, but only one Golden Ship. This legendary vessel supposedly carries only the greatest heroes, the most influential celebrities, the highest nobles, and the most powerful vislae to ports of call most people cannot even imagine. Even seeing the ship is a great honor. It represents wealth and prestige.


Divination: A highly positive card, the Golden Ship suggests that one will earn wealth, fame, or respect. Or all three. It presages a successful endeavor, but usually only if that endeavor is grand in scope. The Golden Ship does not waste its time on petty actions or minor deeds. Alternatively, this card turn might suggest the intervention (again, probably in a positive way) of someone wealthy, well-respected, or influential.

Game Narrative: A wealthy or famous person is involved in some matter. Someone earns a fortune, a great honor, or considerable respect for something that they do. An NPC acts to uphold their honor or out of a desire for wealth or prestige. A sea voyage of great length or scope occurs.

Joy: The PC earns a great deal of money. An NPC respects the PC for something they’ve done. The PC is awarded some great honor, position, or title.

Despair: An NPC loses all respect for the PC based on something they’ve done. An NPC foe earns some great honor or wealth. Someone famous or noteworthy takes a dislike to the PC.
