Dark Kingdom

**The Brotherhood**

* Quirin (formerly)
* Adira
* Hector

### Final state

Mostly destroyed and scarcely inhabited by the Moonstone Opal's deathly and destructive powers

The **Dark Kingdom** is a centuries-old kingdom ruled by King Edmund that appears in *Rapunzel's Tangled Adventure*. It is the former homeland and birthplace of Quirin, Hector, Adira and, surprisingly, of Eugene himself, who is revealed to be its long-lost prince and future dark king.

## Background

The Dark Kingdom, once ruled by King Edmund, was corrupted by a powerful opal which caused the first black rocks to make the kingdom unbearable for life. King Edmund then ordered Adira, Hector, and Quirin to leave the kingdom and stop anyone from finding the opal's location.

## Major Events

* The ancient and all-powerful Moonstone opal descended from the Heavens, thousands of years ago.
* Prince Eugene Fitzherbert was born.
