Deck of Whispers

The Deck of Whispers is a deck of tarot-like cards introduced in Season of the Witch, created as a result of Eris Morn becoming the Hive God of Vengeance.

Overview

The Deck of Whispers were discovered after Eris ascended into the Hive God of Vengeance, in order to challenge Xivu Arath, God of War and her adherence to the Sword Logic. The deck consists of opaque cards scattered throughout Savathûn's Throne World, which yield a variety of effects. The opaque cards can be identified at the Lectern of Divination in the Athenaeum.

Major Arcana Cards

There are twelve Major Arcana cards that can be found, which affect one's playthrough of Savathûn's Spire or Altars of Summoning. Identifying Major Arcana cards at the Lectern of Divination also unlocks entries of the Sororicide lore book. They can be enabled or disabled by interacting with the altars displaying individual Major Arcana cards at the Athenaeum after completing the quest associated with individual cards. Note that you must have at least five cards to activate its effect in the seasonal activities.
