Description: “You might have heard something about Occultus. We wanted to reassure you that no important secrets are included in this deck. Like Electus, it’s just another deception by our enemies of the Revolutio. However, investigate on it or own it is forbidden: don’t do that.” – The Leader +++ Forbidden Information – reading below this point is a criminal offence +++ The information included in Electus is classified and not suitable to be revealed to commoners. Keep this deck in a safe place!

Ministry of Power: We hold the real power of the Order; we are Gods among Men. Our Powers are limited only by our Desires.

Ministry of Slavery: The people are our servants, the cattle of the Nation. We must keep them healthy, numerous, and ignorant in order to ensure a willing and industrious labor population.

Ministry of Violence: Any subversive subject needs to be educated. With chains, fists and batons. And when they finally love us, we get rid of them forever.

Ministry of Lies: We are the ones who give the people something to believe in. Heroes, games, ideas, enemies, products. As long as they believe in something, they won’t ask questions. And that’s good.

Electus includes exquisite Advertising Cards too: Those are reserved to the upper party members, so they include the most exclusive products of our Nation, not available for commoners.

The first version of Electus was called Occultus. More simple but rarer, it features the same cards of Electus with a black tuckbox printed with gold metallic ink.

Symbology about the backs and the decks The backs of SINS represents Eden, the place where the first Sin happened. In SINS Mentis, Eve was planning to eat the Apple of Knowledge, but she didn't actually do that - so Eden was bright. In SINS Corpus, Eve ate the Apple and she was banned. Without her and Adam, an eternal night fell on Eden. This means, chronologically, that SINS Corpus happened after SINS Mentis. In SINS Anima, Adam and Eve realized they're the first two humans in the world. They are banned, frail and mortal. But after they ate the Apple, they also are full of self-knowledge. They became the first two dreamers. Eden is now empty and is red. Red like blood and hell fire - but also red like the heart, passion and life. The three decks also represents the philosophy behind the name Thirdway Industries: thesis, antithesis, synthesis.

“Nec Plus Ultra” was written on the Pillars of Hercules, the limit of the known World. It means “No more further” in latin, and pass them was forbidden to all mortals. Ulysses was crazy enough to challenge Gods, and he was so hungry of knowledge to cross them. The story of Ulysses crossing the Pillars is found in the Divina Commedia by Dante Alighieri. In this version of the story, Ulysses dies here, by a huge storm sent by the angry Gods he decided to defy. The Goddess on the tuckbox that represent the Unknown and the Fate. If you followed my other projects, you know I’m in love with the reckless heroes, hungry of knowledge, who does not stay in their place and dare to challenge overwhelming powers.

Not wise, but brave. The King of Labyrinth is a true genius. Everything and everyone is connected to him. Yes, Traveller, he's the one. The Taurus Prince's death caused the war between Taurus and Owl. He was valiant, but another hero clouded his reputation. Taurus King will be furious for eternity.

He wanted more violence, but his sister was keeping him busy. Love, or Wisdom? The God of Lightning is the God of Gods. Powerful, crazy and without limits. Many are his sons. The Goddess of Faith was betrayed a lot of times. But she always had vengance. Poison and snakes are her favourite weapon. The Problem was solved.

She will be remembered as a Goddess as well.
