Inrah is a set of cards which is being used by fortunetellers in Aventuria, a continent in the world of The Dark Eye. It consists of 121 cards, showing motifs from Aventurian mythology and everyday life.
This set of cards (English version) for beginners includes all cards you need for your fortunetelling, including keyword lists and cheat sheets on cards with a little dictionary of meanings (without entitlement to completeness).
Unlike the official 2010 Inrah card game (Thomas Römer, Caryad, Mia Steingräber), which is unfortunately out of print, these cards are not full color illustrated. They are deliberately kept simple, aiming for a more handmade look. This card set can not and should not replace the official Inrah game. This one is published (and translated) in the hope that the art of fortunetelling with Inrah will not be forgotton among TDE 5 players and other newcomers.
If players are interested in this set, I might supplement it with more motifs or motive & layout variants. For me this is a first try (with Scriptorium Aventuris and the layout software I've used) and I'm curious what you think about it.
I hope you enjoy this package!
Since I don't want you to buy a pig in a poke, have a look at the previews, please. :)
Content:

thick paper (200-300g).
Updates:
July 15, 2018: Added zip file with individual card images
Some of you may want to use these Inrah cards in a tool like Roll20. I've included seperate images of the individual cards as jpg in a zip file, so you can use them more easily.
June 5, 2018: 5 spreads + ideas for using the cards as "tools of the gamemaster"
Addition of more cheat cards showing spreads (laying patterns) and their meaning/interpretation. I also added a cheat card with ideas for the gamemaster for alternative uses of this set. For example for character creation, adventure design or visualization of dream symbols. So if this "Aventurian Tarot" is a bit too esoteric for you, maybe you can still have fun with this card set.
June 2, 2018: alternative Arcana & court cards
The first add-on with adjusted Arcana- and court cards. These Arcana cards, which represent aspects of Aventurian gods or half-gods are not inscribed with the names of the aspects, but with the names of the gods. The adjustment of the court cards is rather subtle but should help to distinguish them a bit better.
A german version of this Inrah set is available via the german Scriptorium Aventuris platform.
