The second highest Royalty card is the King, at 7 & X, who doesn't appear to be very happy about the scroll he is stamping with a signet ring in the gorgeous art by Cat Moretti (IG) inspired by tarot cards. He sits atop a throne with his long cape pooling around his feet and down
The Crescent Moon King card has a crescent moon in 2 corners and a purple crown in the other two, with red border vines framing a Hispanic man with a crown on a throne, in red robes, stamping a scroll with his ring. In the banner there is the Roman Numeral X on the left side and the Arabic number 7 on the right. The card is laying on a selenite slab, surrounded by a cluster of clear quartz, a red candle, a triple moon goddess cauldron, and a stick with lichen, all on a black and yellow cloth. The New Moon King card has a new moon in 2 corners and a purple crown in the other two, with blue border vines framing a Caucasian man with a crown on a throne, in blue robes, stamping a scroll with his ring. In the banner there is the Roman Numeral X on the left side and the Arabic number 7 on the right. The card is laying on a selenite slab, surrounded by a cluster of purple amethyst, a white mortar and pestle, a triple moon goddess cauldron, and a stick with lichen, all on a black and yellow cloth.

Right in the middle of our purple crown Royalty cards is the Castle card, with number 6 and XI and more art from Cat Moretti (IG). We see a fortified, solid structure, surrounded by water & a long isolated point of entry, but with enough power, this isolated place can be overrun.
The Quarter Moon Castle card has a quarter moon in 2 corners and a purple crown in the other two, with green border vines framing a view of a white and green castle from afar. It is surrounded by water with a long path, and we view it from a road. In the banner there is the Roman Numeral XI on the left side and the Arabic number 6 on the right. The card is laying on a selenite slab, surrounded by a singing bowl, a green candle, a triple moon goddess cauldron, and a stick with lichen, all on a black and yellow cloth. The Crescent Moon Castle card has a crescent moon in 2 corners and a purple crown in the other two, with red border vines framing a view of a grey and red castle from afar. It is surrounded by water with a long path, and we view it from a road. In the banner there is the Roman Numeral XI on the left side and the Arabic number 6 on the right. The card is laying on a selenite slab, surrounded by a cluster of clear quartz, a red candle, a triple moon goddess cauldron, and a stick with lichen, all on a black and yellow cloth.

Our next Royalty card is the Paladin, with number 5 and XII on his banner, keeping the purple crown, but gaining some more detail in the background, art done by Cat Moretti (IG). This knight has armor, a sword in one hand, and a torch in the other. He appears to be searching…
The Full Moon Paladin card has a full moon in 2 corners and a purple crown in the other two, with yellow border vines, and a Black man in white armor with a sword in one hand and a lit torch in the other. Behind him a table is on its side. In the banner there is the Roman Numeral XII on the left side and the Arabic number 5 on the right. The card is laying on a selenite slab, surrounded by a chunk of black tourmaline, a cluster of yellow citrine, a triple moon goddess cauldron, and a stick with lichen, all on a black and yellow cloth. The Quarter Moon Paladin card has a quarter moon in 2 corners and a purple crown in the other two, with green border vines, and an Asian man in green and orange armor with a sword in one hand and a lit torch in the other. Behind him a table is on its side. In the banner there is the Roman Numeral XII on the left side and the Arabic number 5 on the right. The card is laying on a selenite slab, surrounded by a singing bowl, a green candle, a triple moon goddess cauldron, and a stick with lichen, all on a black and yellow cloth.

The New Moon 3 card has a new moon in 2 corners and a purple crown in the other two, with blue border vines, and a plain backdrop behind a Caucasian man in blue robes with a holy book, incense holder, and a cross dangling from his book hand. In the banner there is the Roman Numeral XIII on the left side and the Arabic number 4 on the right. The card is laying on a selenite slab, surrounded by a cluster of purple amethyst, a white mortar and pestle, a triple moon goddess cauldron, and a stick with lichen, all on a black and yellow cloth.
