Okay, I like the set overall. I think the effect activation is innovative, and the idea is an original one. I like the general cohesiveness of the set. I feel that the switching battle positions slows it down enough that almost everything is balanced. That said, I have some points/questions:

1. In general, do these effects stack if you continually change the Monster's battle position? The rest of these points will assume not, at least for the stat-boosting effects. Moving on.

2. King is a pretty easy 3000 ATK-beater for just 1 Tribute. Granted, you do have to switch his battle position, but this archetype makes that almost no obstacle. Make that 3500, I just noticed, if you have the field spell out.

3. The wording of Sorrow of Loneliness makes it seem like your opponent would lose 0 Life Points. Perhaps change the second mentioning of ATK to "original ATK".

4. How does Protecting the Weak work if the SSed card would be destroyed? Can your opponent attack directly? Is the SSed monster indestructible by battle?

5. I don't think the passageway should end the battle phase. It seems more fitting with the theme of the card and its backstory to do a sort of Galaxy Eyes-style banishing until your next standby phase, while also negating the attack. Honestly It just has too many things that benefit its user without any cost IMO.

6. I'm on the fence about Steed purely because of the fact that your opponent has no chance to capitalize on the reduced ATK, which makes its drawbacks a lot less potent and unbalancing it. Again this is just IMHO.

[b]I just looked around at the set:[/b]
I really like the boss monster of the set, she's not too overpowered like Judgment Dragon and she's relatively easy to get out making it actually worth bringing her out. Her abilities compliment the set very well.
Your Spells/Traps (as well as Mysterious Woman) should probably specify Sorrow Tale monsters.
The Dragon is overpowered but is hard to get out, while it may seem like that balances it out, it's better to tone down the effect and make a Spell or something to more easily summon it.

1) The ATK/DEF boost are not suppose to stack. I edited the cards that had some effect like that and specified.
2) Like I said his ATK cannot stack anymore. Other than that I don't know what to do with it.
3) Changed the effect like you said. Thank you for pointing that out.
4) I edited to make it make more sense. Tell me if it still confusing.
5) I edited so just read it and tell me if that fits better please.
6) I really don't know what to do with him. So I'm leaving him alone for now.

Thank you for the detailed review by the way.

I edited the spell/trap/mysterious woman so that they specify a "Sorrow Tale" monster. I edited Dragoon's effect so the ATK/DEF boost is only while it is in DEF. Other than that I don't know what else to do to town down the effect. He is somewhat easy to summon it, all you need is the field, royal pet, and Dragoon in your hand. Or have it in your grave and use Princess. Well anyways Dragoon is kind of hard to summon which is why I made his effect powerful so yeah.



By the way all the edits are in the lore, not the card.

I approve of all changes made, except it seems you didn't change Protect the Weak whatsoever. It does not answer any of my questions either in your explanation or the new lore. Also, if you edit yugico cards on the yugico website it automatically updates them here. Just FYI.
[/quote]
I did not know that.

Well let me explain what I want "Protect the Weak" to do and you can help me with the wording of the effect. It is suppose to be able to get you out off a tough situation by summoning a strong monster.([color=#5A5A5A][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif][background=rgb(251, 253, 254)]This card can only be activated when your opponent controls a monster with the highest ATK on the field. Special Summon one "Sorrow Tale" monster from your deck.)[/background][/font][/color] If activated during your turn you can use it to attack your opponents monsters. If activated during your opponents turn you can summon a monster and that must be the first monster that has to be attacked. Essentially protecting you for one turn. [color=#5A5A5A][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif][background=rgb(251, 253, 254)]( No other monster on your side of the field except for the Special Summoned monster can be targeted for an attack as long as the Special Summoned monster is on the field.) [/background][/font][/color]Then at the end phase the monster is banished. [color=#5A5A5A][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif][background=rgb(251, 253, 254)](The Special Summoned monster is banished during the End Phase.([/background][/font][/color]

My questions are the following: What happens if that Monster is destroyed? Can the other person attack other Monsters? If not, can the SSed Monster be destroyed by battle? If the other person cannot attack Monsters and the SSed Monster can be destroyed, can the other person attack directly?
[/quote]
1) If the special summoned monster is destroyed then its destroyed. It will be banished during the End Phase regardless of where it ends up.
2) As long as the special summoned monster is on the field the opponent cannot attack another monster. Once the special summoned monster is destroyed/banished the opponent attacks normally(if there's a monster on the field attack the monster, if not attack directly.)

I really don't know how I feel about this set, you have a lot and I mean a lot of powerful effects but changing battle position to activate them seems to balance that out, But then again your Spells and Traps provide support that can neutralizer those weaknesses and don't have many costs and more then anything you need to power down Peace-filled Kingdom archetype power up bringing a single level 4 monster up to 2400 attack and letting you easily switch battle position maybe on or the other.
