Pushing open the door with the blank nameplate, you find yourself in a new but identical windowless office, on what feels like a higher floor. On the cheap grey desk sits a manila folder announcing proposed changes to the organisation’s committee system, and a red and a green pen. In the wastepaper basket, some coffee-stained memo paper and a colourful deck of cards. A wall clock ticks.

Change “Reader” to “Clerk” and “High Arcanist” to “Director”.

A blog entry for any post-dynastic commentary. Not sure how much time I’ll have today to post an ascension address (I wasn’t expecting Judgement to stay upright in the Spread, so didn’t prepare anything), but I’ll start the new dynasty tonight or tomorrow.

When the Judgement card left the Spread earlier today, I met its condition of “five or more Auras, and also more Auras than each other Reader”, and hereby declare victory.

• Three of Wands - While active, any Reader whose Fate is lowest or tied for lowest among all Readers may Invoke the Aura of Virtue.
• Nine of Cups - While active, any Reader may Invoke any Aura possessed by another Reader.
• Three of Pentacles - When this card becomes inactive, any Reader whose fate is highest or tied for highest among all Readers loses any Shadow they have.
