The Diarhne Au is a type of card deck that originates from Volias. It is used by ordinary people for games and magicians for tricks.
Structure
Most Diarhne Au decks have "triages", which are sections of three cards that compliment each other. For example, the Fool's Triage consists of the Traitor, the Drunkard, and the Dreamer, and it is considered the lowest triage in value.
Fool's Triage- the Traitor, the Drunkard, and the Dreamer
Child's Triage- the Child, the Page, and the Wanderer
Sword's Triage- the Warrior, the Mharlach, and the Conqueror
Magician's Triage- the Stone, the Sorcerer, and the Lord
Kingdom's Triage- the Council, the Grand Judge, and the Crown
Sage's Triage- the Well, the Tome, and the Temple Doors
Divine Triage- the Equinox, the Divine Circlet, and the Below
