===The Coins Suite===
Associated with the Rat and the Element of Earth, cards from the Coins suite are symbols of the [[Rogue]] class and the common man in general. They are generally connected to base emotions such as greed, avarice, jealousy, gluttony and obsession, but may also symbolize generosity and charity.

Ace (1): The Swashbuckler
::Standard: Good-hearted rogues, those who rob from the rich to give succor to the poor, one who seeks wealth to help others rather than for personal reasons.
::Reversed: Envy or somebody controlled by avarice.
::Imagery: A well-dressed female rogue drops a single coin into a beggar's bowl, clearly taken from the slashed pouch of the oblivious and greedy merchant beside her.

2: The Philanthropist
::Standard: Unselfish devotion and love, acts of charity, giving, sacrifice.
::Reversed: Opportunism, using gifts to cover personal goals, bribery, false friends.
::Imagery: Two starving beggars, one a little girl and the other an old woman, huddle against a wall for shelter. The younger gives two coin-shaped pieces of bread to the elder, who hugs her.

3: The Trader

::Reversed: Bad-faith dealing, treachery in business, bad bargains.
::Imagery: A smiling merchant drops 3 coins into the hand of a [[Vistani]] in exchange for a tightly-tied sack.

4: The Merchant
::Standard: Shady dealings, deceit, someone seeking profit at the expense of others, bad business trades.

::Imagery: Two shadowy figures in silhouette. One hands a bag with a hole in the bottom, from which four coins are falling, to the other, who is clutching a dagger behind his back.

5: The Guildsman
::Standard: Cooperation for mutual profit, fraternity, partnership, in-group loyalty, a fair and just organization.
::Reversed: Selfishness, neutrality, dishonesty and treachery to those outside the group.

::Standard: Gaining wealth (literal or symbolic), unexpected rewards.
::Reversed: Loss, possible ruin, great risk.

7: The Thief
::Standard: Thievery, theft, something valuable will be stolen.
::Reversed: An unexpected, important or long-sought gain, usually through unfortunate circumstances.

8: The Tax Collector
::Standard: Corruption and deceit (especially amongst government or nobles), somebody wanting to be bribed.
::Reversed: Somebody of power who is nonetheless trustworthy and just, even if their organization is corrupt.
::Imagery: An ominous mounted figure, face hidden by shadow, clutches eight coins, clearly taken from the impoverished peasant woman cowering at his feet.

::Reversed: A sudden fortune may be in the offering, an important goal will be achieved.

10: Master of Coins: Master
::Standard: Meeting a master of roguishness or the manipulation of wealth and receiving a positive reaction from them.
::Reversed: Meeting such an individual who is apathetic or even outright hostile.
::Imagery: A well-dressed woman, her face shadowed and a rat on her shoulder, sits at a table. Before her are a dagger, a silvery flute, and a bag spilling ten gold coins.
