A/N This is a bit a backstory some random information that might be needed and if you see a mistake please let me know.

Kingdom of Cards is a story about a group of children on a journey to save their Kingdom, Erneth. Erneth consists of four provinces based off a deck of cards. Each province being ruled by a "King" and in charge of a different necessity for the kingdom. The kings come together at the center of the kingdom, known as the Glass Castle, three times a year, for a week each visit, to discuss the happenings in the kingdom.

Around 500 years ago there was a king with 5 children. Each child had a different quality in them that would be needed to rule the kingdom, however each only had that one quality, Elizabeth was caring and amazing with crafts, James was a powerful warrior, Kana was intelligent and could fix or create anything, Caleb was great with economics, and Miri she had the gift of leadership, people would listen and follow her without question, however she still lacked experience. When the time came that the king laid upon their death bed and had to choose an heir. They could not decide among their children. To create balance the King changed the entire structure of the monarchy, 4 kings, 4 queens, 4 knights, and 4 heirs based on a deck of cards. The king had the royal mage create 17 magical Talismans that give the user special abilities, 4 crowns for the 4 kings, 4 necklaces for the 4 queens, 4 medallions for the for knights, 4 bracelets for the 4 heirs and one ring, for his daughter, Miri the Guardian of the Talismans.
