Realm of Thraul

by Trever Bieschbach, Rey Clark, Rich Kunz

The Hearts Collector's Edition introduces the rulers of Calorran. Ishtaramun is the King of Hearts, a god
king mad with power with a troubled past. Zahara is the Queen of Hearts, a young woman determined to
attain more power to help the people of Calorran rise from poverty and return to their former glory. Aman
Ezra is the Jack of Hearts, the High Priest with all the secrets of alchemy. The Ace is a symbol of their
former High Priestess Anat, exiled from her home and leader of an assassin's guild called the Blood
Sparrows. The Hearts were once the cultural epicenter of the Realm, until a line of mad kings took hold. The Hearts
rule the western deserts of Thraul and their civilization is in a state of ruin. There is a clear divide between
the haves and the have nots and the nation's citizens are poor. A history of alchemy and raising the dead
has led to the cultural demise of the Hearts civilization.
