Information
Name Lectern of Divination
Location H.E.L.M.
Description An occult archive to collect and interpret the Deck of Whispers.

The Lectern of Divination is a vendor from the Season of the Witch.

Location

It is located in the Athenaeum in the H.E.L.M., which can be reached through a portal south of the Landing Zone. It is across from the Ritual Table.

Overview

The Lectern of Divination contains the Deck of Whispers. Opaque Cards can be collected throughout the Season of the Witch, either as rewards from The Bladed Path story quest or Major Arcana quests, as collectibles hidden within seasonal locations, or as random drops from various activities. Their identities can be revealed at the Lectern. 12 of these cards (listed at the top of the menu) will be Major Arcana cards, which each grant an associated quest. Completing the quest will unlock the card for use in the Deck of Whispers. The other 43 cards are Minor Arcana, which will either grant seasonal bonuses or various items.

Cards that have a lock icon on them cannot be obtained until certain requirements are met, such as progress through the Bladed Path quest. Cards that do not have a lock icon, but are grayed out, can be obtained. Some cards seem to be scripted to be obtained at specific points of the seasonal story, or are guaranteed to be obtained when found as collectibles.

Deck of Whispers

The Deck of Whispers.

The cards below are listed in the order that they appear in the grid in-game, starting from the top row and moving left-to-right.

Major Arcana

Each of the Major Arcana gives a quest that the player must complete before they can use its associated card in their deck in Altars of Summoning and Savathûn's Spire. At least 5 Major Arcana cards must be obtained before they can be used in seasonal activities. Cards can be added or removed from the deck in the Athenaeum by interacting with their pedestals. A card has been added to the deck if the fire below it is lit.

At the start of an encounter in either seasonal activity, one of the cards in the player's deck will be chosen at random, and will be displayed on a pedestal before starting the next encounter. The card that is drawn will grant a buff to all players for the duration of the encounter. If multiple players draw the same card, the buffs will stack (indicated by "x2" or "x3").

The Whispers of Power I and II Minor Arcana cards allow the player to re-draw cards up to 1 time or 2 times per activity, respectively. Interacting with the pedestal before an encounter will re-draw, randomly selecting a different card from the deck.
