When the Fall came to Aztallan, the Queen guarded the retreat as her people fled to safety. With her was her most loyal consort, but when the Darkenss overcame them, the Queen did not wish for her beloved to share her fate, pushing her to safety at the cost of she herself being lost to the Dark. While the kingdom mourned and moved on, founding new kingdoms in her honor, the loyal consort was not satisfied. Determined that her beloved Sovereign was still alive, the consort tore a piece of the Dreamlands into reality, shaping it into a vessel with which she would traverse the cosmos in search of her lost love. Over time, more Nobles joined her cause, following her ideals of reclaiming what you love, hold it close, and never let it go no matter what. Thus was born the Kingdom of Lunaria and the Queen of Stars.
Their signature emotions are Desire and Fear. A Lost's practical magic gives them a Rapture, a goal they pursue above all else, which they will can cross any boundrary of consent or distance to protect. Their Invocation is [[StarPower Stellae]]

* TheLostLenore: The Queen of Stars and her closest Nobles are all obsessed with finding the Queen of Swords, who (presumably) died in the Fall.
* {{Yandere}}: This is a derogatory nickname for Lost, and it's obvious why. Lost are dangerously obsessed with their Rapture, and if that Rapture is a person, then their goal will be to keep that person safe and close regardless of their thoughts on the matter. Their practical magic even lets them ignore any Sympathy or Intimacy penalties as long as they are targetting the subject of their rapture.

Storms praises their coordination and ability in combating the Outer Dark (if a bit annoyed at how they favor hugs over fighting), and Mirrors see nothing wrong in a cult that constantly showers them in positive reinforcement.

During the Fall, the Queen of Spades' laughter turned into sobs as she was left a broken, empty shell of herself. She would have succumbed to the Outer dark, had it not been for the love of her people. Countless voices called out to her, countless hands reaching out to give her comfort, and as they died, their souls were woven into a great tapestry filling the emptiness that had been left by the Queen's despair. The Queen of Chords became the loom upon which a Tapestry was woven, one that comforted her and diminished her pain. The Queen remains to this day, seeking ways to end the suffering inherent in existence, tearing down boundraries so that all may be woven into the Tapestry.
Their signature emotions are Comfort and Smothering. A Harmony's practical magic enables them to effortlessly slip into any group, as if she had always been there. Their Invocation is [[PsychicLink Corda]].

When the Darkness swept across the world during the Fall, the Queen of Diamonds, ever the clever one, led her people into vaults across the world she had prepared for such a purpose.

The Queen of Mists and her court believe that knowledge is valuable, but also dangerous.
