Talk:Dishonored Tarot Deck/@comment-67.162.176.177-20130523024857

I love this game and I was stoked when I got my hands on one of these sets. My dad and I both use tarot cards regularly, and I have to agree with almost all of the listings above. ALMOST. Not being negative or even attmepting to create an argument, and I realize that it was stated that these interpretations are the popular way of understanding the cards. However, based upon the readings found in several of my tarot books, and after talking with my dad and his coven, we feel that:

The Urchin Prince = Strength

The Governess = The Moon

Lust = Temperance

Why? Well... when you read about Slackjaw, use the Heart on him, hear about him in game, you hear that he is a man that has lived a very challenging life and that he has continuously risen to the challenge and has come out on top every time. Strength is a card of putting events into action through your determination, but while you must remain firm, you must not become too aggressive. In game, we've seen that Slackjaw, while violent, deals with his enemies in a very precise way. He suggested the Pendleton twins be put to work in the mines instead of outright murdering them. In his story, he had his men wait until he purchased the hook and chain to deal with Mike the Fish on his own terms.

Callista is a woman that has lived with grief most of her life; her family is all but dead with Curnow being her only living relative. The Moon is a card of change and fluctuation, and the release of bad habits, thoughts, or past hurts for a change for the better. Callista is also the one in charge of Emily and is acting as her governess and a maternal/sororal figure, guiding Emily through a similar period of change and mourning.

Madame Prudence was iffy for us all around. : / But when we read and reread about her, played the game, read our tarot books, my dad and I finally decided that it made sense for her to be Temperance, or Initiation, in some books. Temperance is a card of balance and cooperation with others to achieve a similar goal. In the negative aspect, it is a card where one has substituted poor activities to balance the lack of good in one's life.
