Project Update: Four Flower Beds: The Minor Arcana Suits

Welcome home, good Hunters! 

You have explored our Garden of Insight eagerly! 

Once more we express our deepest gratitude for all the love and support you have shown us - we are truly beyond words in our amazement! And there are more stretch goals yet to come! 

We have such sights to show you - such secrets to reveal! The Minor Arcana suits have been reborn through Yharnam Blood! Come along, Hunters, and lift the veil from our Garden!

An explanation of all rethemed and renamed cards is included in the guide book.

Suit of Wands to Suit of Torches




The Suit of Wands is the domain of fire. It is the passion burning inside you and the ambition spurring you on. It is creativity, adventure and endless energy. This is the frenzy and energy of the Hunt itself - the bright and determined, even joyous energy throughout the game, the drive that leads you through every encounter and discovery. Torches illuminate that which is hidden and drive away beasts, thus providing a fitting match for the element of fire. 


Suit of Cups to Suit of Chalices




The Suit of Cups is the element of water. It is connected to deep, intense emotions such as joy, grief, love and awe. It's the big emotions poets write of, the ones that equally guide or blind people on their way. The element of water in Bloodborne is often connected to the Old Gods - to kin, to the Healing Church, to many gods such as Kos or Ebrietas which evoke aquatic creatures. This sound of sea water, and the use of chalices as an in-game mechanic to open the tombs, lends itself perfectly for our deck. 

Suits of Swords to Suits of Augurs




The Suit of Swords is connected with the element of air. It symbolises rational thought, sharp minds and honest assessments, but also worries and anxieties. The more academic and experimental natures of both Byrgenwerth and the Choir signify the inquisitive yet doubtful nature of this suit. The Augurs themselves are creatures of the cosmos, distant and far away, and thus a great equivalent to the element of air. 

Suits of Pentacles to Suits of Echoes



The Suit of Pentacles, also known as Suit of Coins, represents the element of earth. It is the suit of health, wealth, and physicality. Aside from the pragmatic realities of everyday life, this can also mean luxuries and indulgence. Blood Echoes in Blodborne are not only currency for equipment and levels, but are also deeply connected to blood and collected through killing - it is the mundane reality of the Hunt, and wealth and physicality alike. For this reason, this suit has been renamed to Suit of Echoes.
