While not specifically designed in accordance to the standards set in modern tarot decks, and while incorrectly numbered, the cards within the ''Dishonored'' Tarot deck can be theoretically linked to their Arcana counterparts by using their representative character and personalities, compared with the meanings given to certain tarot cards.
 
   
There are multiple theories and collections of ideas concerning what cards in a regular tarot deck the ''Dishonored ''cards represent. The most popular representations are as follows:
 
 
The Minor Arcana:
 
 
*Rats are Pentacles.
 
*Swords are Swords.
 
*Pistols are Wands.
 
*Skulls are Cups.
 
*The Kings and Queens remain Kings and Queens. Jacks are Pages, and Commoners are Knights.
 
 
The Major Arcana
 
# Judgement - Judgement
 
# Lust - Strength 
 
# Man on Stilts - Chariot 
 
# The Boatman - The Sun
 
# The Witch - The High Priestess
 
# The Weeper - Fortune
 
# The Lady - Justice
 
# Regret - The Tower
 
# The Urchin Prince - The Moon
 
# The Twins - The Lovers
 
# The Hermit - The Hermit
 
# The Artist - The Magician
 
# Cruelty - The Devil
 
# The Governess - Temperance
 
# Nobility - The Star
 
# The High Overseer - The Heirophant
 
# The Drowned Man - The Hanged Man
 
# The Lord Regent - The Emperor
 
# The Empress - The Empress
 
# The World - The World
 
# Death - Death
 
#The Outsider - The Fool
 
 
 
It is also important to note that it is possible to tell which way up a card in the ''Dishonored'' deck has been dealt by looking at the back.

Dishonored-tarot-cards

An advertisement for the tarot deck.

Included within the Special Edition of Dishonored is a 78-card tarot deck themed on the game, which is usable for playing the Game of Nancy, as well as for divination.

The deck consists of 22 Major Arcana and 56 Minor Arcana cards, but differs from traditional tarot decks in both the names for Major Arcana and their positioning.

While Arkane Studios did not provide a companion book or online information to accompany the deck and explain its occult symbolism for divination purposes, Harvey Smith, Co-Creative Director of Dishonored, stated on Twitter:

"That's the kind of thing the community would have to do. We would pay attention to what the community devised. We'd look at it after the fact. Otherwise, too much work for already slammed people. Yeah, we'd love to see it, to give thoughts when we could, etc."
—Harvey Smith.

A set of updated cards was released with the Game of the Year Edition of Dishonored, available to those who pre-ordered the game from GameStop. They feature characters from The Knife of Dunwall and The Brigmore Witches, such as Lizzy Stride, Billie Lurk, and Delilah Copperspoon. It also contains updated character classes, such as the Butchers and the Brigmore Witches.

The Dishonored tarot deck.

While not specifically designed to standards of modern tarot decks, the cards within the Dishonored Tarot deck can theoretically be linked to their Arcana counterparts by using their representative character and personalities, compared with the meanings given to certain tarot cards.

There are multiple possibilities regarding how the Dishonored tarot deck aligns with the standard tarot deck, which can be found here.

Trivia

  • In-universe, a modified version of the Dishonored Tarot Deck is used, called the "Game of Nancy Tarot Deck".
  • Another card game unrelated to the Game of Nancy is mentioned in Dishonored.

In growing order: basic Pair, Two Pair, Tall Towers, Captain's Quarters, Dunwall, Royal Dunwall and The Lord Regent's Purse.
  • It is possible to tell which way up a card in the Dishonored deck has been dealt by looking at the Outsider symbol on the back.
