It's been a while since I read The Wyvern's Spur, but I thoroughly enjoyed the novel Tremaine, can you elaborate on this particular scene? Does it mention anything about how it's being played? or what is shown on the cards etc?

This has sparked something off that I've been meaning to ask Ed ::runs off to the Chamber of Sages::

Hi Lord Rad

It involves a pair of ivory dice and hidden/unhidden Talis cards for the players. Each card has something to do with the four elements Fire,Earth,Air,Water I think some cards are major and some are minor

All of the cards have got pictures on one has the primary flame-that means it's a guarded assassin another one is a moon which is a very lucky card I think

each unused card you got in you hand doubles the price of a new card if you want to improve you hand hand

it's on page 44-46 of the book if you want to look it up
