KING HAMANU TAKES A KEEN INTEREST in every aspect of Urik’s governance. He dispenses justice, monitors trade and resource production, and trains with his soldiers.
Hamanu never sleeps; rather, he spends his nights deep in study. He is invested in Urik’s dominance and works to expand his militaristic city-state. Among the sorcerer-kings, Hamanu cares the most about his state and its people. The price for his attention, however, is constant supervision and total submission.
The people of Urik are loyal to Hamanu, the self-described King of the World. As a powerful arcanist, Hamanu has access to otherworldly entities, but the sorcerer-king’s incredible pride prevents him from seeking their aid in battle.
Hamanu’s humanity has begun to fade. Although he is still a powerful and attractive man, his eyes have turned golden, and his teeth are long and sharp. When wounded in battle, Hamanu sheds his human form and adopts the shape of a part-human, part-draconic lion.
