"The first thing in a visit is to say:
How do you do and shake hands, shake hands, shake hands."Terra Mirabili is based off of 'Alice in Wonderland' kinda loosely. You'll see paralells and things, but, for the most part, aren't strict. You don't have to have a character based off of the books, movie, or miniseries to join the pride. Please note, though, that there will be deeply intricate plot lines involved in this plot that are quite inter-related and will span (currently) over at least three years.
Please also know, this is a Coalition, meaning any type of SoA can join. "How do you do and shake hands
And state your name and business."

"But I’ve never met any queen."
"You haven’t? You haven’t? Oh, but you must!"Royalty
The Monarchy has two major houses, and two minor Houses. There are gnerally two houses in power: Spades and Hearts, while the Diamonds and Clubs remain minor houses.
Queen of Hearts: Ruling. The Queen of Hearts is one of the two strongest creatures in all of Mirabili. She's generally regaurded as the highest power, but is checked by the House of spades. She is the 'True Heart' of the pair, coming from a line of Hearts, generally.
King of Hearts: The King of Hearts is a married body, generally coming from the royal house of Diamonds. He's basically a figure head when it comes to anything, but still has power. He genereally controls the things the Queen doesn't want see.
King of Spades: Ruling The King of Spades is is one of the two strongest creatures in all of Mirabili. He checks the Heart Queen so she doesn't become too tyranical in power and is generally saner of the two. He is the 'True Spade' of the pair, coming from a line of Spades.
Queen of Spades: More of a figure head, the Queen usually comes from the Clubs suit. She has minor powers, genereally taking care of the problems of the Commoners.
Grand Duke/Duchess: Royal Suits of high ranking, they have a lot of power, but not as much as a king or queen. They are genereally the ones to marry the Prince or Princess, depending on their power or influence.
Prince/Princess: The Inherent of the throne - usually the child of the current Monarch. Some monarch may adopt a child into the throne from another royal house with the approptiate colors, but it's rare.
Marquis/Marquise: Royal Noblemen - usually the children or siblings of the Royal Monarchy obtain this rank as adults. They are skilled in areas of communications and are charged with finding allies for the terra.
Baron/Baroness: Royal Noblemen from Clubs or Diamonds. They are mostly skilled in menial things, like baby-sitting the Rosebuds, or sparring and such. These are usually the cubs that managed to get an odd colored pelt not considered for high nobility.
Rosebud: Royal children, no matter the house, that won't inherit the throne. They keep this rank until they are adol and become part of the heirachy depending on their skills and attributes.
Knight Ranks Head Knight: A particularly skilled knight becomes the 'head knight.' All orders come from the head knight as well as who is admitted into the rank of Knight (or Dame). He has good skills in leadership and is particularly brave.
Knight/Dame: Once training is complete, a knight gains the actual rank of 'knight.' Knights are charged with guarding the monarchs and royalty, and the Mirabili in general.
Squire: A adolescent knight, they've progressed in their training for knighthood and stick to the knight they're training under. They start field work at this age and aide the knight they are training under. Normally, there is one squire to a knight, but sometimes more depending on the incoming.
Page: Young knights in training. They are almost always Juveniles. They gain this rank just after Teacup with genereal knowledge, once they know they want to be a knight, and so begin their training. Common Ranks Crocodile: Mechants sell anything and everything they can find just about. They have special permission from the Queen(♥) or King(♠) to sell their wares from either outside the pride, or specially made to sell (by buying it or making it themselves).
Dream Catcher: Dream Catchers are the musical bunch of the commoners that keep the general coalition entertained. They are the life of the common area and are generally around the merchants shops to lure in the customers. However, they can be requested by the higher ranks to perform in the royal areas or simply around the terra to gain their own wares.
Lory: Caring and genereally good with the teacups of the pride, they teach them the basic skills they need before joining Common apprenticeship. They are basically nannies, and rear the children where their parents cannot. [A Royal Lory teaches Rosebuds, or Royal children.]
Jabberwocky: The hunters of the pride. A select few are chosen to hunt for the Royal houses (though aren't given special names), but generally, they hunt for the common folk, as the Knights hunt for themselves.
Collecters: These are sometimes especially appointed by the King (♠) or Queen (♥) to gather members, as they do not Seek. Sometimes, they will gain others against their will, upon orders. They are still counted as commoners, as they're the low-down shady characters for the most part.
Oysters: New potential for the pride - they are either coaxed, join of their own will, or are brought forcibly from the outerlands for the need of more members. Once they are proven loyal members to the Terra or complete their training under a skill, they are no longer considered an oyster.
Teacup: The youth of the normal-folk. They are educated and sorted into ranks when they grow older and generally keep this rank to Adol."Uh... how can I find her?"
"Personally, I prefer the shortcut."

"What makes sense
Will be nonsense!"Religion "It would be so nice if something made sense for a change." Chessa, Goddess of Mirrors [Played by: Teh Angel Yuna]
Mirrors and reflective surfaces are highly regaurded. They are highly revered for not only vanity, but for imagination. Mirrors are also seen as something that can look into the soul, mind, and body. It's seen as judging, but beautiful.
K'Anatak, God of Reflection [Played by: DragonsRage24]
-Seeking Permission-
Reflections of anything are highly viewed upon, like a mirror. They can reflect the soul, the hearts desire, and so on. Without reflection, a glass would not be a looking glass after all.
Bunika'Mwenzi, Godess of Imagination [Played by: Lightning Shadow X]
-Seeking Permission-
Imagination is also highly regaurded and almost a requirement for the Mirabilians. It's what keeps them moving forward, their motivation, their reason for existing almost. To be without imagination is almost immoral to them, therefore, they worship it.
Beliefs Morality: "Tut, tut, child! Everything's got a moral, if only you can find it."
Members of the Mirabili need to be able to follow the monarchy with grace, but should also follow the sanity of the natural world.
Species: "We're all mad here."
Any species may join the Mirabili, no exceptions. All are accepted unless they disobey the queen.
Treason: "Off with his head!"
Any and all species found guilty (with a trial) are sentences either to death, cast out of the coalition, or forced into a lower rank, depending on the offense. Occasionally, the Queen of Hearts or King of Spades may overrule a sentence, and either lower or heighten the punishment.
Pelt Color: "We're painting the roses red. If she saw white instead, she'd raise a fuss, and each of us would quickly lose his head."
Pelt color doesn't really matter for Knights and Commoners, but Royalty has specific pelt colors that go with their suits. The suits take pride in their pelt, and royalty that doesn't is usually brought down to knight or commoner status. The colors are as follows:
:. Hearts - Reds, whites, golds; Diamonds - Whites, reds, pinks
:. Spades - Blacks, Whites, Golds; Clubs - Blacks, Blues, whites
"And why nonsense,
That'll make all the sense!"
