The Second
THE SECOND SOUL, BIRTHED FROM IAH, WAS THE STARS,
THE GHER. THEY FLICKERED TO LIFE ONE BY ONE FROM
THE MOON'S MANY FRAGMENTS, UNTIL THEY BATHED
THEIR CREATOR IN A SOFT, LOW LIGHT. THE GHER DANCED
IN THE ABYSS AND MADE CONSTELLATIONS FOR IAH TO
READ. IN THEIR LIGHT THEY MADE SPEECH, AND THEY
SHARED THAT KNOWLEDGE WITH IAH SO THAT IT WOULD
GIFT THEM ALL THEIR OWN NAMES, THEIR OWN
IDENTITIES. THEY DISCOVERED JOY AND SELF
The Gher represent raw energy. These individuals are radiant in their health and vitality, and are blessed with a uniquely high stamina. Blinding in spirit, they are the determined, the headstrong, the spirited. They are difficult to tame and even harder to defeat, with a natural spark that keeps them going longer than any of the other spirits. These are the most optimistic of spirits.
The Gher have the power of immense stamina. They have far higher health and energy than the other spirits, and can recover from severe damage far more quickly. The proficient will be able perform great feats of strength, and will be able to charm those around them. The Gher are most powerful when feeling confident and accepted within their group, and the more powerful they become, the more desperately they yearn for companionship. They may struggle with crippling anxiety when alone or rejected, and are prone to forming codependent relationships. At the height of their skills, Gher may find themselves capable of sustaining their entire group or lending their strength to others. Over time, the Gher’s will be greatly physically weakened when not surrounded by a large group.
