Paint Your Own Arc(k): The Sovereign Sheets

This is not a blank deck. It is an unfinished one.

Four sheets arrive with the sixty-four faces of the Arc(k) of Animal Alchemy already printed, sixteen animals to a page, borders trimmed to bleed and bound together for the ritual ahead. The backs are open. What goes there is yours to decide.

The Pattern

Each sheet holds sixteen animals from the completed Wave One system, arranged and ready. The front of the work is done. The back of the work is not, and it was never meant to be done for you.

The Initiation

Lay the sheets flat before you touch a brush. Let the four pages sit together as one surface, the way a mural does before anyone cuts it. Paint across all of it at once rather than card by card. This is the same act the Captain performs before every Commission Deck: one continuous gesture, cut apart only after it's finished. When the paint dries, cut along the printed lines. What you're left with is a deck no one else has, made by hands no one else has.

What Arrives

Four bound sheets, 9" x 12", sixty-four printed faces ready for backs that don't exist yet. A QR code inside links to the guidebook and simple guidance on paint, palette, and the cut.
