Ultima Forever: Major Arcana Card Gallery

In addition to the Virtue cards, Ultima Forever’s lore and gameplay feature an expanded tarot set that includes sixteen Major Arcana cards, which Mythic have just publicized in a gallery on the Ultima Forever Facebook page. As with the Minor Arcana, Mythic went out of their way to create a full, gorgeously-illustrated tarot set for the Gypsy in the game, even though most players won’t get to see the Arcana art more than a handful of times.

These Major Arcana are featured during the character creation sequence at the start of the game:

Additionally, they have some effect on your character, in the form of bonuses and preferences for items of a certain colour:

I’ve added the Major Arcana as a page on the Ultima Codex’s Ultima Forever portal, complete with descriptions of each card in turn. As well, the Arcana cards there are at a higher resolution than can be found on the Facebook page…a little gift to Codex readers from Mythic, that.
