Elhar, Essence of Humility

Elhar is not an Essence easily embraced by most people, as its presence in one's mind commonly follows a turn for the worse in a person's life. It's not enough to simply lose, whether in competition, investments or love. Elhar represents the self reflection that comes after such a loss. A repentant gambler, substance abuser, a fighter at the end of their prime, someone losing their looks to age, an advisor losing their standing in a Baron's court, or anyone dealing with depression may ask Elhar for guidance.

Elhar's reach isn't exclusive to loss, however. Self realization and submission are also a part of Elhar. Clergy of all faiths will acknowledge Elhar in their quest for piety. The experiences and lessons of history are often viewed through Elhar's lens. Those who carry heavy guilt or burdens may turn to Elhar. A person dealing with a terminal illness, humbled at the hands of fate, would parlay with this Essence.

In either case, the goal, which is often missed by those invoking Elhar, is not to seek relief. Elhar is most likely to bless those who have taken responsibility for their journey and become ready to face an even more difficult one, whether it's redemption or release.
