AN ENTRY INTO THE IMAGINARY CARDS JAM

Strange Convictions is a collectible card game created in the year 532 ndK, imagining a supernatural past for the city of Edelhaark, in which cosmic entities meddle in the fate of the city during the final years of the miasmic affliction. Desperate mortals are drawn into dire pacts with these otherworldly entities, and soon made into mere pawns – dark devices used to bring about the grand designs of these strange patrons.

The game grew rapidly in popularity throughout Edelhaark, and the surrounding territories of the Interior Null-Operant Zone – until it was banned by edict of the Armistice Council in the early months of 534 ndK. 

This single card remains, smuggled out of the INOZ by a dedicated fan of the game, amidst the chaos following the Sixtower Incident.
