THE LAND OF SPADE The Castle in the Sky is one of the most fortified kingdoms in Wonderland, seeing as it has the largest military in the world. The community is raised on fighting, strategy, and discipline. It consists of both foot soldiers, archers, and aerial fighters. Though many would naturally fear this amount of power, people don't. The rulers of the Land of Spade aren't power hungry nor wish to harm anyone unless provoked. Instead, they wish to keep their people safe. This kingdom is also the leading one over metalwork, masonry, and mechanical research. Obviously this being so due to the materials surrounding them in said mountains. T H E . B L A C K . Q U E E N - - F R E Y A missing in action The Black Queen, Freya, was recently crowned after marrying King Matthias. Their marriage was a bit of a celebrated scandal because she was his bodyguard while growing up. Many thought her indifferent to him and her homeland, but it turned out that she didn't want to overstep her boundaries. That is until Matthias broke them for her. Many young girls fantasize about the romance between these two and tend to forget about her majesty's fighting ability. She was a fighter first and foremost. She believed in military power, offense being the best defense, and doing anything she could do to keep her home safe. So she helped build the Spades' military and even trained some of them herself. The people in the palace have affectionately dubbed her their Warrior Princess. The reason that she was sent to the Summit instead of her husband was because of the fact they were confident that she could watch herself better than he could. Unfortunately, she was the one snatched and taken deeper into Underland. T H E . B L A C K . K I N G - - M A T T H I A S The ruling king of the Land of Spades was born and bred to rule his promised kingdom in the mountains. Being a heavily militaristic kingdom, the king was taught the ways of strategy and fighting. However, he wasn't able to surpass his class mate and soon to be protector, Freya. She always beat him, but that was what was expected of her since she was being bred to be his bodyguard. Years passed and so did his parents, leaving the young king to fill in the royal throne much sooner than he was ready for. Freya, his now good friend, was by his side and she made sure to help him along the way. It didn't take long for the two friends to start showing signs of romantic interest, and would give into their desires in secret. Freya was ashamed of breaking her oath and would punish herself with rigorous training... until Matthias proposed to her. The people celebrated, which made the King even happier about his choice. The two started planning the future of the kingdom after their wedding, and came up with their new aviary units. Now that the Queen has been taken, Matthias couldn't stand by. He left immediately for where she was last seen, leaving their eldest child in charge of the city until one or both of them return. . T H E . B L A C K . P R I N C E S S The heir to the Spades' throne is a mystery to most of the Castle in the Sky. They have been hidden within the palace's walls while either training to be a great warrior or to be a strategical genius. Or perhaps the two rulers were ashamed of their child. Regardless, the people are worried about who's orders they are under now... which isn't doing much to negate the fear of the Underland. Offense is the best defense in the Land of Spade. Their military is filled with different type of soldiers such as footmen, archers, flintlock operators, and aerial attackers. The kingdom is guarded from the ground, the walls, in their own streets, and even from the air now. They're also located in the mountains. If anyone wanted to infiltrate this kingdom, they'd have to do so by working from the inside first. If even that were possible. Since the citizens are treated equally and have jobs of equal importance, economy is steady and practically equal for all. No one is poor while no one is rich. Everyone is stuck in the same class state, which helps divert the attention from such trivial argument to more important things. Taking care of each other. This kingdom is the smallest out of the three, seeing as few wish to raise a family in such an environment. Many new recruits into the Land of Spade are people who have journeyed from other kingdoms and hope to put their lives to more use than what they once were. However, the kingdom continues to bring in money from exporting their metalwork to other kingdoms for a decent price. After all, an army can't fund itself.
