Acanthus have walked a path through Arcadia to Awaken as Rulers of Time and Fate. Using Time to manipulate what has happened and what will happen, along with Fate for what must happen, such an Awakened sees reality as a story which has both yet to begin and yet to end, even while it is being told. Acanthus Awakened are called Enchanters for their luck and Witches for the differences.

In Awakened tarot, Acanthus themselves are represented by The Fool and their magic represented by The Wheel of Fortune. They enter dangerous situations without knowledge of the danger and still they come out on top, only seemingly through chance. Acanthus know the ever-changing nature of events can be gainfully exploited with the Supernal as a guide.

As Awakened who have visited Arcadia, Acanthus have the unique ability to summon Supernal Fae in to the Fallen World. These denizens of Arcadia are seen as shrewd negotiators who see a favor as a payment in a transaction, commonly with deceptive interpretations. Many see Fairies as tricksters. The honor of their word is of paramount importance but their promised duty stops at its literal meaning.
