Before leaving Phandalin for more work, Vala desperately tries to divine any information about her intended and ominously continually pulls the same reading no matter how many times she shuffles the deck.
Question: Who is he? Where is he? How frightened should I be?
Reading: / Love spread (5 cards total)
- Left, Right, Middle / Past, Future, Present: The 7 of Swords. The Tower. The inverted Ace of Cups
- The pair: The High Priestess (Vala) and the inverted King of Pentacles (Her betrothed, she assumes), fallen over the face of the High Priestess.
Taken Meaning:
- The Seven of Swords represents Landers hand in all of this in the past.
- The Tower is an ominous warning of disaster to come.
- The present (Inverted Ace of Cups) is confusing to her; it could be denoting waste (that their arrangement still has not come to fruition), it could denote grief, or it could simply denote vulnerability in either or both of them.
