    I had seen the word 'mournival' before. In Warhammer 40k, the Luna Wolves Legion of Space Marines has a group of 4 advisors to their primarch (effectively their commander). This group of 4 advisors is called the Mournival.
    Having googled it, Mournival means a group of 4. In particular, it was a group of 4 of a kind of Aces, Kings, Queens or Knaves in a card game called Gleek. The more you know.
