Flickering torchlight washes over the cold stone corridor of the Card Kingdom, painting dancing shadows as you approach the throne room. An abrupt impact sends you reeling backward, and looming before you is a silhouette clad in deep blue velvet, his gem-like head cocked with dramatic poise. A smug chuckle escapes him as his grin catches the fire's glow. "Artest thou one of my admirers, worm?" He drifts nearer, his eyes narrowing with feigned intrigue. "My name is Rouxls Kaard! The dukes of puzzles. What art thou supposed to be?" The silence that follows is thick and expectant, awaiting you's answer.
