Card Kingdom[note 1] is the Dark World located in the Hometown School's unused game room. It is the primary setting of Chapter 1.
Main Story[]
History[]
According to Seam, King, and the Prophecy, Darkners once lived in harmony with Lightners. When Card Kingdom's denizens were locked and left in "this prison," King swore vengeance. Some Darkners however, hoped the Lightners would eventually return.
Initially, the land was ruled by the four kings from Card Castle. Many Darkners, such as the court jester, Seam, and Royal Coat Rack worked there. At some point, Jevil met a "strange someone," and his perception of reality changed. The kings requested his associate, Seam, to lock him away in a separate prison in Card Castle. Seam left Card Castle immediately after in favor of collecting wares for their shop.
Before Kris and Susie's arrival, the Knight appeared and opened the Eastern Fountain. Three of the kings were locked away, and the last remaining King put himself and his son, Lancer, to power. King immediately either fired or locked away the staff and puzzle makers. He appointed Rouxls Kaard as the new puzzle maker, and ordered Lancer and the other denizens to attack the Lightners.
Chapter 1[]
After Kris and Susie arrive in the Dark World, Ralsei tells them that a Dark Fountain has appeared to the east of Castle Town. It was prophesied that three heroes would seal that fountain.
The party eventually reaches Card Castle. However, Lancer has the party captured and thrown in the dungeon, afraid that they will hurt or be hurt by King. Susie eventually frees the rest of the party from the prison.
After defeating King, Kris seals the Eastern Fountain, causing Card Kingdom to no longer exist.
Chapter 2[]
When Kris and Susie first arrive in Castle Town, they find that Ralsei is the only resident. Ralsei tells Kris to go to the Unused Classroom, and gather everything in there. After Kris gathers the things in the Unused Classroom, and returns to Castle Town, many glowing specks seemingly fly out of Kris while they fall. Once Kris lands, Castle Town is filled with the former residents of the Card Kingdom.
Sublocations[]
Card Kingdom is divided into three main subareas, each with their own sublocations.
