What Are Trumps?
Through the Greater Trumps, the royal family keeps in contact with each other. Like a telephone, they permit conversations at long distances. But they are much more than a simple telephone. First, the conversations can cross the bounderies of Shadows. Second, the Trumps do more than transmit words. They also transport people...The Trumps are focusers: nothing more and nothing less...Strictly speaking, the cards themselves aren't necessary for this contact, but without them contact is much, much more difficult.
