The Heroine, also called the "1 of Blues", or the "Empress of Blues", is the first card in the Suit of Blues in a deck of Atlicana Cards. The cards are mostly used to play Atlicana, but they are sometimes used in fortune telling.

Features

"The Heroine card is filled with traditional Galwyndorian symbolism surrounding death. First, there is the prominent skull beneath a road leading to the gates of the Underworld. On either side of the skull are two coffins with skeletons inside. Beyond the gateway lies Vuldarith, the mountain of the dead, situated beneath a raven in flight and the crescent moon. Above the word Atlicana are four snakes, which according to legend are the creatures said to usher one from the realm of the living to that of the dead. The card is number 11, which represents the 11 stars of the constellation Gagnus, who is said to be the first person in the world to die. In the original version of this card, at the bottom were two Traevian Knots, which represented the cycle of life and death eternal. Finally, the top key symbol is the coffin, which represents the overall theme of the card." - from The Usirad Grimoire
