Ianira Heartslaver
The Verdanii throne was all she ever wanted. A sigil of power none could compare. Unlike any other Living, she needn’t fight for her desires. After all, for Princess Ianira, everything was easy. With a beauty envied by many, Ianira asserted her dominance in Verdania. A charismatic and endearing princess that inspired the Verdanii in times of war.
In the shadows, Ianira was something more sinister. She was an addict. A prisoner of power and lust. She reveled in the suffering of lesser Livings, enjoying their torment and their total subjugation. If Ianira wanted something, she would get them. One way or another, with no regards of victim and no hints of mercy.
In her pursuit of dominance, she crossed path with Kadmon. She ruined him: breaking his faith, destroying his home, turning his allies against him. Worst of all, she murdered the person Kadmon had loved. It was one mistake too many… For the White Prophet made it one of his life’s mission to ensure that no crowns would ever settle on Ianira’s head.
After the Fracture, she haunted the ruins of the kingdom she was destined to rule over. She’d enchant any who crossed her path, turning them into her slaves. Only those with a strong heart could wish to resist her temptations.

Rulings
“Spells of Invocations cannot target Ianira” — She cannot be targeted. However, she can still be dealt damage through Spells or Invocations if they do not target Ianira. For example, by using Rotting Hulk.
Ianira’s “At Dawn” effect works exactly the same way as her Calamity. Simply move one of your Basic Vassal to your Legion.
“put a Basic Vassal to their Legion Zone” — Simply move one of your Basic Vassal to your Legion. If you don’t have a Vassal, this effect does not affect you.
If you already have three Vassals, you cannot Summon the unit affected by Ianira’s Invocation (see Summoning rules). If that Unit dies, it follows normal rules i.e. it goes to the destroyer’s hand.
Zone in this case refers to any Player’s Vassals and any Player’s Legions. The Crown, the Grave, the Wilds and the Tomb are not zones.
