Hand-painted images decorate this Harrow deck, the frames gilt in silver so that under lighting they sparkle and flash. Despite the worn condition of the card backs, the images on the faces are so vibrant they seem to move when viewed out of the corner of the eye. The deck itself handles with surprising ease, almost shuffling itself. A bent, torn, or lost card always seems to mend itself or reappear when no one is looking.

These features are subtle manifestations of the spirit that haunts the cards. In life, Zellara lived by this deck, and in death, she has become the deck.

Spells

• 1/day: major image - She can create a major image once per day, often doing so to generate an image of herself manipulating the cards. In this manner, she can carry on conversations with other creatures.
• 3/day: identify - She can identify a magic item’s properties if one of her cards is touched to it. When she does so, knowledge of the item identified manifests in the mind of one creature she chooses who is also holding at least one card, or she can opt to describe the item’s functions via a major image.
• 1/day: detect magic - She can detect magic once a day, concentrating on the spell for up to 10 minutes.

Sentience

Zellara's Harrow Deck is a sentient item with an Intelligence of 10, a Wisdom of 13, and a Charisma of 13. It has hearing and vision out to a range of 60 feet.

The deck can speak, read, and understand Common, and can communicate with its wielder empathetically.

 Personality

The deck’s purpose is to defend and protect the city of Korvosa, her home in life and in death. In order to attain this purpose, she can periodically perform powerful Harrow readings for those she has chosen as Korvosa’s defenders.

Zellara can suppress the deck’s powers at will and doesn’t hesitate to do so if anyone attempts to sell the deck or otherwise displeases her. At best, a foolish character could possibly sell the cards as a standard Harrow deck—thus, no pricing information for the deck itself is needed.
