In 1995, under the influence of Everyway, I ran a Sartarite storytelling campaign using a 'Gloranthan Tarot' deck that I created called 'The Way Of Power'. It was very Heortling/Far Place specific. I subsequently demo-ed the game and used it in running some systemless Gloranthan modules at a number of Oztralian conventions. We still use it from time to time as a storytelling adjunct to PDP.
Full details on the deck and some suggested game-play rules were posted to the Digest at that time. If you'd care to check it out, do a search on the Digest Search Engine (http://chmeee.pronetsolutions.com/gd/) on 'Gloranthan Tarot'.
To quote the post:
"The deck is divided into RUNE CARDS (universal powers), HERO CARDS (based on the Far Point landscape and history - a major arcana equivalent), ELEMENT CARDS (five elemental suits each of seven cards - a minor arcarna if you will), GIFT CARDS (the treasures of Far Point and their inner meanings) and GAME CARDS, which can initiate various character events such as flashbacks. Optionally, you can also include PLAYER/CHARACTER CARDS, denoting characters, which are included in play in the STORY DECK explained below."
You're welcome to use any ideas from the posts you consider worth adapting.

The thing I came for:
the wreck and not the story of the wreck
the thing itself and not the myth....
This is the place. We are, I am, you are
carrying a knife, a camera / a book of myths
in which / our names do not appear.
