BALANCE
Opposites help create balance in the way of things:- hardship/success; bad/good; pain/healing; emotion/physical; harsh/gentle; easy/tough; strong/weak; calm/wild; rich/poor; love/distrust; cold/hot; crowds/solitary; aloft/excitable; attentive/ignoring; blame/forgiveness; hermit/popular; fight/peaceful; young/old; quiet/loud; unbroken/broken; famous/unknown; return/leave; bitter/sweet; quiet/loud; balanced Magic;Balance is the state of equilibrium achieved through a delicate inclusion of all. There is a time of stillness after movement. By embracing an ongoing process of finding essence in a constant yet ever-changable life, you can bloom and decay to bloom again. A forest grows tall and strong, seeming to rarly change, yet it does as does everything around it. As a fire destroys a forest, the new life grows stronger. You must be ever adapting to the sameness and topsy-turvy way of your lifetime.
At its essence, balance goes beyond physical - it extends into emotional, mental, and spiritual self. It is a long journey of introspection, like a tide the ebbs and flows to rest and to action.
In the grandness of existence, balance manifests as a dynamic tension and an amazing ease - a swirl of many opposing forces delicately intertwined. Achieving balance demands introspection and outward looking, adaptation to the routines and fancies, along with a continuous attunement to the people in your life. All these people are not merely there as side-notes in the life you lead.

History
The Lady Knight
The Lady Knight was offered land, wealth and a crown via marriage. She chose them all. Her name was famous for decades.The land Princess Bryony was given, she rented out to townsfolk for a low cost, and aided with coin in getting farms created. The marriage was short-term. Her temper and her calmness ranged too extreme for the royal groom. She did grow ill (sick and weak) when pregnant, and lost each baby. Her sorrow and her sorrow were equally deep.
She stepped out of her usual world of Jeyton City to follow the new path given to her by the God Gil'lon the master cat. After being young, surrounded by people, rich, emotional, loud and famous, it was time for her to be old, solitary, poor, old, peaceful, quieter and unknown.
The Deck of Many Things
The original Deck of Many Things was created by The Lord of Balance (Gil'lon The Master Cat), after a Tabaxi female named Snowdrop, made a deal with Gil'lon to save her friend, the medusa Ana Euryale.As each reaction requested by the Tabaxi, also an opposite card was also created. Due to the divine nature of the cards, from then on myriad versions, each slightly different, started manifesting across all of Moata Solar System.
The original decks of many things held on the reverse the symbol of The Twin Moons both full, with one slightly smaller as in the distance, along with the symbol of The Lord of Balance.
This casual deck-building game was played with slightly enchanted cards competitively. A band of five angel from Celestia tried to destroy all the decks. Each one they destroyed only forced the magic elsewhere to create a new Deck of Many Things. The magic contained in surviving decks steeped and swelled into the potent cards known across the Realms for their dangers and possible beneficial effects.
The cards are named and each was adorned with a unique portrait - a 13-card deck included the sun, moon, star, throne, key, knight, the void, flames, skull, ruin, euryale, rogue and jester cards, while a 22-card deck added the vizier, comet, the fates, gem, talons, idiot, donjon, balance and fool.
When a card is picked, it will glow as if surrounded by moonlight. The card activities to being sighted - whether only the visual symbol or the wording. After 'use' the card appears to burn with white flames downwards, and vanishes from the deck - until a new person takes possession of The Deck of Many Things, unless all the cards were 'used'.
This made it entirely impossible that the same card was drawn more than once by the same person.

THE LAW OF A MAT
Times in your life you will have no mat on which to rest, nor friends to offer you to share their mat. These times will strengthen the parts of you, for survival alone.Times in your life you will have a small mat on which only one can rest, time to look inward and be at peace with yourself. However, the need of another might mean you give them a turn at rest. As you may need their mat to rest apon in your time of need.
Times in your life you will be on a medium mat on which many can rest, if they work together, no one taking centre and all interwined in rest, as well as when active.
Times in your life you will be the one with a large mat on which you can rest and offer others a place to rest. Give of your own, not to get in return yet because you are able.
Develop a time for revivial of community and helping others. For in the care of self you will only bloom so much, while in the efforts to aid and empower others you will blossom even more.
"There is a Balance in everything."
