Rayne, Queen of Broken Hearts
From Changeling Venue
Rayne has sat in her piece of Arcadia for many centuries (at least centuries in Arcadia). She never goes out of her great castle, though projects her image when she needs to make appearances. Instead she sends her servants to collect new servants or tricks her 'friends' into gaining servants from them. She is renown for her physical prowess, it is said that the few times she has walked from her palace and through the hedge to visit the human world that she fought a titan in a great Wasteland and the only thing left of the creature was a eye that she can now see through.

Description
This frightening woman is a commander of minds and bodies. She is a very intelligent Gentry, not so much on social graces (though she knows manners and etiquette). With her knowledgeable mind, she spreads her domain, having two separate domains. "The Overworld Of Fire and Darkness", and "The Undergarden of Steel and Crystal". When children and teenagers were picked and plucked from the world, they were bought to her and she decided on where they would go. Afterwards, she would use her tools and commit unthinkable, inhuman surgery to make her new servant what she needed.
Ones Seeming could tell where they belonged in her world. Wizened and Darklings commonly found in "The Undergarden of Steel and Crystal" while Fairest and Elementals were found in "The Overworld of Fire and Darkness" most likely. Ogre's could be found anywhere, as muscle was lead mostly by Fairest or Wizened, depending on where they were. Many of the creatures here call themselves 'The Heartless Masses', lacking compassion, love, desire or fear.
A Heart-filled Tale
Gazing across the cracked plains of my soul I see a mirage of the person I used to be. No traces of my heart or the happiness you stole, This transparent illusion is all that's left of me.
There once was a great war-maiden who was in love (or what she believed as love), and danced, her spins and long legs calling out to her lover, but he was too busy. His eyes wandered as they always did, and he enjoyed his puppets far too much. He busied himself with his servants. He busied himself with his land. He busied himself with his castle, but never her.
And as decades went on, through their immortality, that love twisted and turned to hate. She bought a great blade to her chest, twisted and cut out her heart, staring dowing at the beating, plump, enormous heart, she knew it wasn't enough. The feelings were still there, clawing at her insides.
It wasn't enough ...
Nothing grows where there was once a forest. Everything good in me died when our love died. I can't stand the emptiness in my chest! When you promised me forever you lied.
She bought her anguish out on her servants and the first one died horribly. She couldn't take their hearts out. At least not fully, no, something else had to be done. Maybe a small a mount and a pledge. A contract that if they continued on such loving roads as she once did, that they would share the fate of the cold, gray servant that laid lifeless on the floor.
Some ran and was struck down by her shadowy servants, others figured out how to escape, but many were stuck signing their name to something they wanted no part of.
The clock on my wall stands still at midnight, And the hand of my soul is frozen on 'Sadness.' I no longer have the will to fight. Whether I live or die matters less.
Not many Gentry dare visit the cold, gray and black, dead lands of the Heartless Queen. Her army just as cold, unfeeling, ruthless as she was. The Broken Hearted army full of blank eyes and near-hopeless souls.
Near Hopeless.
