Is it still hip for Queens to follow the layman's trends?

:; Can we get fun facts about either Amanda or Fiori? Never hurts to know more bout em

Queen Amanda Rhombus used to be the Ace of Diamonds when her mother was still the Queen. She stepped down from her spot after health concerns, thus Amanda adamantly and eagerly took her spot.

Amanda's throne is rarely ever used by her, as she is a rather active Queen, always helping out her villagers whenever she can.

Being a former Ace, Amanda is a potent fighter, skilled with a sword and shield.

She's mildly skilled in sorcery, although not as much as her husband. She can cast simple pyromancy, mostly as means to stave off the cold of her homeland.

The gem on her crown is a family heirloom, always worn by the current King/Queen of the bloodline. Her daughter's crown currently has a vacant hole in it, which will bear the same gem Amanda's currently wearing should she step down as Queen in the future.

Queen Fiori has a severe disgust for flesh and organics, viewing it all as a hindrance and a massive flaw. Thus, everything, and I mean everything in her queendom is replaced with steel, wires, and copper. Having eyes and ears everywhere, not a knuckle cracks in her domain without her knowledge.

She seems to take great pride in her skill and intelligence, pointing out the fact that she had personally created the first few structures and automatons of the Queendom of Clubs.

The spider-like legs she uses are only worn by her when she's traversing the outdoors of her queendom. When in her own castle or when visiting outside territories, she walks with her own two legs.

She has many gadgets, tools, and extra arms underneath her dress. Don't ask exactly how many.

Since Deck 52 is finally out, can we get some facts about the 3 other vintages (Heart, Club, and Spade)?

La Rosa de Amor, the Vintage Heart, is a peculiar artifact situated in the very heart of the Hearts Kingdom. It is a large, magnificent rose, stationed on a podium protected and governed by the city's clergy.

It is said to be a gift from the Sixth, one of the Arcanas, a set of deities that the people of Anten (Deck 52's world) revere.

Being a divine artifact, La Rosa is said to be able to grant any wish to anyone pure of heart while holding a freshly plucked/dropped petal. The clergy restricts the populace to obtaining only one petal a month per person.

Because of this, the Hearts Kingdom is rather fond of roses, with large lush gardens of such flourishing everywhere the eye can see, as well as surrounding the perimeters of the kingdom's territory.

Reverend Saffron is frequently seen to pray and communicate with La Rosa, and claims to receive advice and blessings directly from the Sixth through it.

Knight A.K0rn, Queen Fiori's pride and joy, is a knight only in title. He is actually unskilled in combat, and the large sword he wields is more ornamental than practical.

Queen Fiori treats A.K0rn like her own child, and is said to be developed by her bit by bit every day, letting him "grow" and "develop" much like an organic kid would.

A.K0rn is very fond of the Ace, Clover Aquilla, and sees her as a big sister figure. He insists to "train" with her so that one day he will become a strong warrior like she is and fight in the war for the Queendom. However... his idea of "training" seems to resemble more childish playtime activities than actual combat trials.

General Thanneus Thade is the eldest of four from the royal Thade family, with his younger sisters being: Clotho, Lachesis, and Atropos Thade.

Records state that despite being the eldest, he has rejected the heir to the throne, preferring to be the Ace of Spades, willing to devote his life to protecting the Kingdom his family had built, with Clotho taking the throne instead. Further documentations seem to speak of an illness afflicting his two eldest sisters, ending their lives mere weeks after diagnosis. Suspiciously... no records exist of his father's untimely demise, as the populace back then just suddenly noticed the King had vanished, with his youngest daughter, Atropos, taking his place, and the Ace of Spades, then believed to be Thanneus... now replaced by a mysterious man who quickly proved himself to be a force not to be reckoned with.

Thanneus has since been imprisoned in the dungeons underneath his family's castle for decades, neglected and forgotten, he has only withered in both mind and body, but never perishing. He is completely insane, mumbling about "peering beyond the veil" and "seeing the truth". He's since lost his sense of self and has forgotten the identity of his family... mostly.

Strangely though, whenever Mortimer gets imprisoned in the dungeons by Atropos, the Jack seems to witness Thanneus temporarily regain his sanity in his presence, becoming lucid, speaking properly, even remembering his own name. He acts like nothing changed about himself, and seems oblivious to both his state of health and his whereabouts, constantly treating the whole ordeal as if Mortimer is a mere visitor to his abode. Mortimer usually uses these moments to confide with him a lot, as strange as the moment is. Once he leaves, though... Thanneus falls back to his insane self, with the young Jack hearing the increasing mumbles and cackles of his uncle echo through the halls as he slowly walks back out to freedom.

Thanneus is rather fond of chess, and Mortimer had once brought a chess set down to the dungeons in secret to play with his uncle. As his hands are bound behind his back, Mortimer moves the pieces for him as he dictates where they go.
