Iraj: the king of hearts, painted for the game

Iraj

ایرج

The youngest son, who was given Iran and went to his brothers unarmed.

Iraj was the youngest of Fereydun's three sons, the one who stood his ground and spoke when their father came at them in the shape of a dragon. When the world was divided, he was given its centre: Iran, with the throne and the crown.

Salm and Tur demanded that he give it up. Their father was ready for war, but Iraj was not. No crown, he told Fereydun, was worth a brother's blood. He went to them alone and unarmed, to hand it over himself.

They killed him anyway. The long wars between Iran and Turan that fill so much of the Shahnameh begin there.

In the game

The king of hearts. In the school you sit in his seat while Fereydun teaches, and in every game the first hakem's partner sits in his house.

Press and hold the card in the game, and it turns over to tell you who it is.
