The Tiles of the Holds, or the Elder Deck, were an ancient version of the Deck of Dragons representing the various Holds that once existed everywhere in the world. Like the Deck of Dragons, they could be used to make predictions in a process called "casting the Tiles". They were predominantly used in the Letherii Empire. A Cedance was the dominant set of Tiles. The Errant was the Master of the Tiles.

  • The Tiles of the Holds, or the Elder Deck, were an ancient version of the Deck of Dragons representing the various Holds that once existed everywhere in the world. Like the Deck of Dragons, they could be used to make predictions in a process called "casting the Tiles". They were predominantly used in the Letherii Empire. Unlike the Deck of Dragons, members of the Hold could be places or things. The only diviner seen in Midnight Tides was Feather Witch, named after the feather witches who, for generations before her time, were the only ones that could read the Holds. In her readings, she could see actions of the individual members of the Holds not as if she were there but through images in the form of representations of their actions. This was very unlike the Deck of Dragons, where the cards were drawn and placed in an order on a surface and the meaning was left for interpretation. A Cedance was the dominant set of Tiles. The Errant was the Master of the Tiles.
