There are many ways for an author to explore an invented world. Worldbuilding
generally includes making maps, dreaming up new cultures, and deciding what sort of magic and
technology the world has. For me, all of these methods helped me to create the setting for
Children of Rhatlan, Tamshi's Imp, and many of the stories
in Seeds of Vision.
I also found that creating this Tarot deck, based on Taibril and my stories that
have taken place there, helped me to more deeply explore this rich world. Here, for your perusal,
are thumbnail images of the entire deck. I hope you enjoy this glimpse of Taibril, and that
you will continue your journey by reading my books.
If you have a registered copy of Orphalese
Tarot, you can go to the Deck Exchange in the Tarot Zone and download this deck for your own
divinitory use or Tarot study. Orphalese Tarot is shareware, and the best computer Tarot
program I've ever used.
In Tarot tradition, some of these images do contain artistic nudity. If that
bothers you, just click back to the main page.
