Legendarium Playing Cards (VINTAGE)

Status: SOLD OUT

There are three decks reserved in our warehouse in China, but we plan to list them again in a month or two. Ten additional decks remain in our private reserve in New Zealand, though we are unsure if they will be made available for sale on this site. We may reprint this deck in a few months, but it will most likely feature a new back design (to be confirmed).

-------------------------

Legendarium is a project featuring Heroes, Goddesses, Fantastical Creatures, Medieval Beasts, and Paths we choose. It weaves together familiar images into its narrative, whether they are clearly understood or only vaguely. It is reminiscent of knightly legends, fairy tales, creatures from ancient bestiaries, and forbidden lands where dragons reside, wondrous plants grow, and rivers flow backwards.

Court Cards

In the world of Legendarium, there are no pre-made, definitive solutions, indisputable truths, or final judgments. The resolution of the story is not immediately apparent. 

The answer to the Seeker's question must be sought by themselves, relying on the hints provided by various beings encountered on their journey. The Seeker can also turn to their most trusted advisers, the heart and the mind, for guidance.

Duality in the perception of color allows us to construct our own narrative as the events unfold. What do the curling grapevines, the intertwining of wild branches, the patterns of vibrant or, conversely, faded colors with sharp thorns on the stems or intricate leaves say to you? 

Are the colored dots on the card's field coins or grains? Do the bright stars herald fortune for you, or do they wound the Hero with their cutting edges? 

Aces

Look around. Here, you have shields adorned with leather and iron, sturdy yet lightweight armor, and sharply pointed spears and arrows. Among this formidable array of military merchandise, if you look closely, you will find elegant items that delight the hearts of young beauties. Bracelets, pendants, and earrings showcase the blacksmith's true jewelry craftsmanship.

Jokers

No one will know how much effort it takes to gracefully dance on a tightrope and appear carefree, like a jester unconcerned about tomorrow. With a broad smile, the jingles on his vibrant dress chiming ceaselessly—he dances just as effortlessly over a straw-strewn floor as he does over an abyss. Today, performing tricks before kings; tomorrow, before bandits; and beyond—who knows?

As long as the carnival music plays, life is a joy for him. He plays with his fate like a deck of cards. He settles at times, relies on luck at times, and perhaps even cheats, but he never loses everything. Lost a coin? No problem! Got a coin? Good luck! And he knows better than anyone that winning and losing are two sides of the same coin. Don't want to lose? Don't play or prepare for any outcome.
