The shaman reaches into her leather bag and brings out three disks.
"You fist disk, the card of the things you cannot control, is Dragon." It's an iron disk, and the dragon depicted on it looks fierce and deadly. "The forces causing your difficulties may be just myths in their essence, but the effects on the real world are extensive and dangerous."
The second disk is made of silver, and shows a circle of tree branches depicting the seasons. "The tool you need to manage is depicted by the Year-Wheel. You can't speed things up, so you have to manage your resources to get through the hard times."
The final disk is also silver, and shows a shiny city of high-rises. "The final card is the Ancient World, the world before the Upheaval, before the world was sundered into fragmentary shards of what it was before." She looks at you quizically. "Did your world have a disaster too?" Then she shrugged. "No matter. The things you need to know to face this challenge have been handed down to you from your ancestors."
