	This worn deck bears an evocative image upon each of its forty-five cards. Mundane whispering decks grace the tables of fortune-tellers all over the world, said to be potent oracles. Among gamblers, whispering decks are said to make their own luck and favor the lawless. Tall tales sometimes speak of the cards in these decks whispering lies mixed with unpleasant truth, usually leading those who hear them to ruin or fortune (or both).

'''Influence Move''' When you fail to discern realities, carouse or recruit, instead of the usual result, the GM will introduce a surprise guest into the story, who is able to help you in some way.

	'''Ritual Result''' The querent suddenly and vividly remembers a seemingly innocuous encounter with a typical stranger (for example, a merchant who sold ~~you~~ something or a serving girl), with the realization that the stranger wasn't mortal at all, but a deity (or other powerful being of similar disposition to ~~you~~) in disguise. During that encounter, the deity to took a shining to the querent. The group and GM will determine when this occurred and who the deity is (if necessary, make up a new scene and insert it in some logical place in the past). Now revealed, the deity will make a point to visit the querent once a month for a quick chat.

	'''Whispers''' Priests of the deity instantly recognize the querent as favored by their god. Rumors may circulate about the regular meetings and may result in surveillance or worse, as the faithful try to see divinity in the flesh. Enemies of the deity eventually become aware that the character is favored.		'''Whispers''' Priests of the deity instantly recognize the querent as favored by their god.
