I don't know if this will help but my current thinking is that the four points eventually became: -
1 Cape Verde Islands
2 Galapagos Islands
3 Spitzbergen
4 East Timor

So there is a possibility of volcanic activity being involved.

Also, maybe the question on the card needs to be interpretted as meaning 'To which mystical place were these locations fated before they arrived at the places shown on the map on the card?' That's a convoluted and non-grammatical way of asking where they came from!

We don't seem to have looked so closely at the predestination side of this card, even though the words on it clearly lead us down this path. This would lead us to Calvin or Luther and anything connected to them.

Also there are connections with Darwin in that he disagreed with predestination and is certainly connected with South America (notably Galapagos) and Australia/Pacific through the Beagle voyage (where he stopped off at the cape verdi islands off north africa on the way). Can't quite link him in to spitzbergen yet.

Just a thought.
