The Major Arcana. Though their origins have been largely forgotten, the people still portrayed on decks of Tarot cards today, are still alive...barely. There are only seven out of twenty-two of them left and they are being hunted down slowly by a force bent on destroying the world.
~The History
In the old days, the Major Arcana were twenty-two powerful immortals with world-shaping powers that kept the people of Earth in balance. They bore names like The Magician, The Tower, The Star, Justice, Death...and many more. Out of gratitude for their actions, the humans they protected placed their likeness on Tarot Cards. They weren't necessarily all good, and many would seek power beyond what they had. In the modern age, they have weakened and gone into hiding after Death, a former Arcana, turned on them and with a group called the Collective, comprised of (Judgement, The Devil, the Hanged Man, the Fool and The Hermit), have disrupted the balance of the planet, causing death and destruction in their wake and incapacitating the remaining Arcana who oppose them.
We are the last seven Arcana who survived. Drawn from your hiding by the Magician, whose lover the Empress was doomed by Death to eternal drowning in the bottom of Mariana's Trench, you have embarked on the near-impossible task of suppressing the power of the Collective, rescuing the other Arcana, and bringing balance to the world.
This storybook takes place in the modern time, with timeless characters who have witnessed and taken part in many major historical events. They are immortal but not invulnerable, as shown by the schism that wracked their group. The Magician has summoned the remaining members pf the Major Arcana to Venice, yet none of them expects what they will find waiting for them there..
