Version history

Version	Changes
3.25.0	We've done a big shuffle of which Divination Cards can be found in each Map, which means most Maps drop fewer Divination Cards than before, but don't worry you can now see this information for yourself!
3.18.0	The Catalyst now also drops from Doryani's Machinarium. [Verified on Divcord]
2.0.4	Introduced to the game.
