We left Africa on foot many millennia ago and traversed the continents. The seas kept pace with our ambitions, and our thirst for exploration guided us forward, or more so survival. Then came the bloody wars, and ages of prosperity and calm, but there was one land that taunted our efforts, that was the sky above.

Great minds like Leonardo designed incredible machines that alas never took to the skies. But our desire unrequited, we paced on, trying to conquer the infallible.

Though finally, we built mechanical marvels to traverse the heavens and beyond, our ancestors dreamt big in their minds and spun great tales of mighty heroes who made air their companion as we do thoughts.

Alis Luminis or Wings of Light is a hand-drawn playing card deck in celebration of these mighty heroes from yesteryears.

Wings inspired the tuck box, with the magical, gentle butterfly adorning the back and the mighty Peryton reigning the front. The artist illustrated this beautiful hand-drawn deck, over a period of one and a half years, meticulously crafting it with her dedication and love.
