[b]The Major Arcana – Imperial Order of Veluria[/b]

To most citizens of Veluria, the [i]Major Arcana[/i] are simply the greatest heroes of the region—Gym Leaders, Contest Icons, and the Emperor’s Royal Guard. Each member bears a legendary [b]Brooch[/b] said to grant its wielder incredible powers tied to an ancient tarot motif. However, the true origin of the brooches is [i]shrouded in mystery[/i]. No one remembers who created them—or why. 

Originally formed around these relics, the Major Arcana once served an unknown purpose now [b]lost to time[/b]. Over generations, they became figures of cultural, political, and military power—enforcing Imperial law, shaping public ideals, and dominating both battle and beauty.

Each Gym Leader and Contest Icon wields a unique Brooch linked to a Major Arcana card, and each operates out of a designated city. The cities themselves have become famous centers of tourism, training, and cultural rivalry.

[i]The Elite Four and Champion reside in the Imperial Capital, ruling as the Emperor's Royal Guard.[/i]
