Mysterious party invitations

[triskellian]

(This entry probably entirely meaningless to anyone who isn't aware of or didn't participate in this discussion in bateleur's LJ.)

smiorgan and I have today received in the post two playing cards, one with my first initial on the back and one with his first initial on the back, both with two or three other letters on the front. Letters that might be part of words...

His is the Ace of Hearts, and the letters on the front are "EN"; mine is the Queen of Diamonds, and the letters are "EEK". Both are written on 'right way up'. Anyone else want to share?

I have the 7 of Hearts with FIR on the front, and hearthfire (though she doesn't know it) has the 8 of Hearts with OLL on the front.

Neither the 7 nor the 8 of hearts appears on the invitations diagram, which suggests that either we have named clues (I understand that Obiwan is a good match for hearthfire, perhaps Bear is a reference to my humble support of the greatest American football team of all time?), or the diagram is more complex than it first appears.

Sadly I rather think that I have a prior commitment on the date.

Oh, te accompanying letter does mention the Shrine of Doves.
