Card 58

Angel

Value: 7
Notions • Cats • Clocks • Wind

Meanings: judgment, safety, assistance, light, justice


No greater representation of goodness, light, or justice exists than the winged form of an angel from on high. Left behind as a part of the Legacy, they attempt to aid, to teach, and to protect. However, some angels also pass judgment. Their vengeance can be terrible to behold, their anger something no mortal ever wishes to experience. Thus, the Angel represents both the open palm of altruism and the terrible fist of retribution.

The Angel is the defender of Notions. Its light insures that they are kept safe.


Divination: One should take this opportunity to look for an ally or at least shelter. Someone or something out there can help the person in question. The Angel brings justice as it passes judgment. As long as one is not found wanting, this card turn suggests that external forces bring assistance or succor.

Game Narrative: Someone seeks shelter. An angel gets involved in the matter at hand. An NPC offers assistance to another. A stronghold keeps important people or things safe.

Joy: An NPC intervenes on the PC’s behalf. The PC finds shelter or protection when needed. The PC finds light in the darkness.

Despair: An NPC determines the PC is untrustworthy or a wrongdoer. An NPC foe finds safety or aid.


The eyes on her outstretched wings saw far more than a mortal’s eyes ever could, gazing into secret realms and guarded hearts.
