The Elves Deck

Description

The Elves Deck – Forest Elves Edition

Do you like playing cards? So do we.

We also love Fantasy and Elves and this was our first project, a deck of poker playing cards that is fantasy-oriented and that depicts four different races of Elves as the court cards. It took almost two years for us to get where we are, and we are so happy with the final result after working really hard and trying out so many different ideas.

Everything in this project has been carefully thought and all our cards are custom and hand-drawn. Every detail of our playing cards has been studied and revised until we got to the final design that we are proud to show you today.

Story

Hundreds of years ago there were two lovers who reigned the world of the Elves, but after some time the Goddess Varaliath started to get involved with the obscure and the occult until she was completely absorbed by it. Celioth, faithful to the light and not willing to tolerate her interest in black magic, pushed her away. The Goddess, surrounded by darkness, took shelter in the grim, cold dungeons of the earth. She decided to change the colour of her skin to hide better and while performing a dark ritual she marked her face with a scar. She then found a new companion, Lysanthar, with whom she plans her revenge against Celioth. Together they reign on darkness and generated the Dark Elves race. Celioth, in turn, got together with Goddess Miredienne and created the noble Grey Elves and the Forest Elves. In time, Elves started living with humans and eventually a new race appeared, the Half-elves.

The court cards of the four different pips represent the different races that populate our world:
Hearts – Noble Grey Elves
Diamonds – Half-Elves
Spades – Dark Elves
Clubs – Forest Elves

Gilded Versions exist, but stock has run out. We may offer them occasionally in bundled mega packs. Fede has a few packs available in Italy that could be ordered directly. Please message through Instagram at the @friscards account and mention the gilded versions of Galad and Mire.
