Extract from 'World of Playing Cards' : Cards from the area which was formerly the Austro-Hungarian Empire are immensely varied. Some of them have special regional differences and are named accordingly. Just as regional dialects are spoken within different areas, similarly, regional styles of playing cards follow the fashion for certain games, ethnic groups or social classes. The Bohemian pattern, also known as the Prager pattern, shares similarities with other old German-suited patterns, such as the Bavarian and Franconian, and preserves details which have survived from the earliest days of German cardmaking, such as soldiers holding weapons and animal or burlesque vignettes on the numeral cards.

A slightly freer variation of the North German Pattern.

The Story

This is a call for champions - A call for blood. The Cycle of Blood is approaching its end. The Primuses of Daya, Fera, and all the scattered realms will face each other in one final, epic contest to determine which realm will rise and see peace until the next cycle ends. For the Primuses who fail, their Realms will be thrust back into civil war as the search for a new Primus begins anew. The Realms of Daya and Fera are mired in their own gruesome civil wars. Factions of dark and light battle for the honor of challenging the ruling Primus. Should the Primus fall, the challenger will wear the crown.

Dragomith has ruled the Realm of Daya for 63 years. In a Realm where the Primus has yet to last for more than 10, he is the exception. Through tenacious combat and flawless strategy, he has bested 14 challengers and intends to represent Daya in the coming cycle. Dragomith was born of the Pallumbra Faction.
