19.10.23 Legends Deck

The deck of legends is a set of playing cards boasting an array of weird and
wonderful powers. These are obtained via giftbags and other promotional items
and begin life as a simple decorated sleeve which, when unwrapped, reveals the
image of a famous figure from Achaean history. Each card belongs to a specific
suit, and each suit also has a joker card.

Details on the cards, sleeves, and decks are outlined below:
