The Nh'áhrean
The Nh'áhrean, often referred to as Mother Nature, is a fundamental concept in the world of Aesor. It represents the delicate balance and harmony of the Five Elements that shape and nurture the world, serving as the guardian force that sustains and preserves the natural order.
The Nh'áhrean, encapsulates the idea of balance and harmony among the elements. It is the embodiment of elemental forces working together seamlessly to create and sustain life. Unlike Aeos, the Marcritic Anchor of the Elements, which represents their raw power combined, the Nh'áhrean focuses on preserving this power through the concept of balance.
Understanding the Nh'áhrean
At its core, the Nh'áhrean symbolizes the synergy of the five elements in perfect harmony. It is a force that seeks to preserve and protect, rather than disrupt or destroy. The Nh'áhrean's balance is essential for all aspects of life on Aesor, from the Shattered Light to the changing seasons and the very elements themselves. It is the force that ensures life can flourish on the planet. Mother Nature comes into play when the elements are in a state of unity. Originally, the Heart of the Myst held them together, but now, Aesor itself serves as the vessel of their harmony. It prevents the elements from countering and destroying one another, ensuring that each element complements the others. The Nh'áhrean is intricately linked with the Shattered Light, not Aeos. It acts like a bandage that wraps around the elements, maintaining their balance. Without this binding force, the elements would engage in destructive conflicts, such as fire opposing water. Mother Nature exists solely within Aesor, as it is centered around the harmony of the elements within the world. Its Anchor is the Shattered Light and not Aeos. In the present era of Aesor, the Nh'áhrean, the Mother Nature ensures the functioning of Marcry energies, mortality, elemental powers, weather, seasons, and the overall ecosystem. Without its harmonizing influence, these aspects of life would be in disarray. Many cultures, particularly the Ephyrans (especially those of the House Grove), revere the Nh'áhrean as a divine power. Rather than viewing it scientifically, they regard it as a singular spiritual figure holding the world together. This perception underscores the Nh'áhrean's significance in Aesor's cultures and religions.Origins
When Third sealed the Power of Creation also known as the Five Elements and placed them within the Heart of the Myst, the elements were designed to coexist harmoniously. They were meant to be mutually supportive, with no single element dominating the others. Third, purposefully made their “prison” within the Heart a tormenting experience that requires true cooperation from the elements, to bare one another. This meant, that no matter how many times one element would try to gain dominance within the Heart, it would be silenced by the others quickly, especially with the help of its opposing element. Although created with harmony in mind, the elements locked into a singular shell, enduring the millions of years of Scionic Wars around them started to change and initially they began to have their own internal conflicts. However, these struggles were manageable and eventually led to a perfect balance over millions of years, thanks to the guiding influence of the Heart and Third’s incredible design. The elements' harmony was disrupted when Kalzamaath separated them from the Heart and scattered them across Aesor in the form of the legendary Aeos Parure (the Sovereign Stones). This brief separation introduced a moment of doubt and conflict among the elements, threatening the world with chaos. Unknowingly, Kalzamaath almost destroyed Aesor before life even began in the first place. Since the elements were made to be contained in a singular vessel by Third’s design, those few seconds of them experiencing freedom, made their individualism flourish, which lead them to question the need of a shell in the first place. Aesor itself became the new vessel for the elements, acting as a protective shell that contained them and preserved their harmonious balance, literally continuing the function of the Heart of the Myst on a larger scale. Although less potent than the Heart, Aesor serves its purpose by keeping the elements together.The Birth of Elementals
During the brief period of the elements' separation, the seeds of the Elementals emerged. These Elementals, representing the individual power and growth of each element, were born in seconds but had a lasting impact on Aesor. The Elementals, formed from the pure power of the elements and driven by a sense of selfishness, harbored a desire for dominance over Aesor. Their inherent individualism and lust for power make them one of the most immense threats for Aesor's future. As the Elementals are the representaions of all the things that the elements could’ve become, had it not been for Third’s genius design and their eternal confinement within the Heart, they wish for dominance and sovereignty over all life, death, mortals and even gods.General Information
