Lore [Concept]

> One was struck from the Heartfire for each reign. Velmarch had eleven kings.

At every coronation the royal mint struck one Sovereign Spark from the [Heartfire](../../../journey/heartfire.md) for the new king. The Hearthfolk say the miners who cut those sparks went down with their eyes bound and were led by the hand.

fallen bring back more than eleven in a year. The Coalwrights do not like to discuss it.
