## Lore

Amara is unique to *Hearthstone*. She appears to be one of the titanic watchers charged with watching over Un'Goro Crater, originally created to serve as the "experimental ground" of the titans.

*This section uses content from Wowpedia.*
*Titanic watchers (or simply watchers or sentinels) are the first generation of titan-forged. Most of them would later be tasked with the protection of specific places. The titan-forged were divided into the aesir, made of metal and masters of storms, and the vanir, made of stone and masters of earth. A few are also made of ivory. After they destroyed the Black Empire, they participated in the ordering of Azeroth along with their brethren.*
Amara appears to be similar to Nablya, a titanic watcher and apprentice of the titan Khaz'goroth that adventurers encounter in Un'Goro in *World of Warcraft*.

## Trivia

* "Amāra" means "immortal" or "deathless" in Sanskrit.
* There was a bug that caused playing Amara with Auchenai Soulpriest or Embrace the Shadow to destroy her hero. Like Alexstrasza, Amara's card text says "set" Health and not "restore" Health, and therefore shouldn't have any interaction with cards that convert healing into damage. This issue was fixed with Patch 8.2.0.19506, and she now correctly sets the hero's health to 40.
	+ It appears that the reason for this bug was that Amara would first set the hero's health to 40, and then Heal for 40. Because of this, if the player had a Bolf Ramshield, they will take no damage, because Bolf would intercept the 40 damage. The current Health would remain the same, while the maximum Health would increase to 40.
* There was also a bug that caused Amara to deal damage to a Ragnaros hero after Ragnaros' Health is raised from 8 to 15 by Alexstrasza. This bug was fixed in the same patch.
