It is the year 1874, and Le Cirque d'Avalon emerges out of the mist on the outskirts of another random town, the tops of its turquoise tents glistening with dew and framed by a dusk horizon. No announcements preceded its arrival, only the obscure weather warnings and a suggestion to remain indoors that evening.
However, those who are curious know better than to stay away; a once in a lifetime opportunity awaits them.
The circus, despite its ethereal qualities, appears normal to its many wandering patrons--but there are rumours... Rumours of a magical curse from the start of the century, placed on all those who join the circus. Rumours of mystical powers, of secrets and conflict, and of an insiders competition to escape the curse--to leave the circus prison, once and for all.
The circus is fickle; it comes and goes as it pleases, so you must be prompt to decide your fate: Will you visit Le Cirque d'Avalon? And if so, will your childlike wonder tempt you to risk the curse and stay for good?
The curse revolves around the twenty-two Major Arcana cards of the Tarot deck. When a person joins the circus, their spirit immediately bonds to one of the cards, taking on the mystical abilities associated with that particular card. The card that is chosen is the card that best suits a person's spirit.
Very few members of the circus know about the origins of the curse, but all of them carry its burden: no one belonging to the circus can leave the circus grounds. If they try, an invisible barrier prevents them from crossing over. There is only one way to get out: win the Arcana Battles.
The following is a list of the Major Arcana cards by order:
Spoiler! :
I will provide more information about the Arcana Battles in the DT.
Your character can be one of three options: (1) a pre-established circus member, (2) a patron who joins the circus, or (3) a patron who only visits the circus. The first two options are for characters with higher storybook activity, whereas the third option can be infrequent.
