Fiction:The Empyreans/Esur

'''"I urge those who are fit among you to treat your new planetary home with care, lest it be angered and attempt to avenge itself."  -The Chapter of Esur, The Empyrean Collective'''

A member of the Collective, Esur is sometimes known as the Sheather, a title which reflects his role as the Lux Columna of Agriculture. He wields only one Sphere, and this is known as the Sphere of Nature or as the Sphere of Agriculture.

Along with being a minor Empyrean, Esur shares his plane of reality with Avis Carmen, possibly due to their similar Spheres.

This plane is called "Agrostriticum".

History
As a minor Empyrean, it can be confirmed that Esur was not created by the Nubila Mist but rather created in some way. Taking this into account, his origins have never been properly examined thus theologists have had to rely solely on some obscure lore surrounding him.

This story, sometimes called the Sheather's Creation claims that Esur was once a poor farmer whose family died when he could not afford to provide them the basic necessities. To quote the ending of the tale:

'''"Months went by. The peasant farmer did not return to his home, preferring to stay out all day and all night in his fields. He had to give his family the honour of a proper burial. Then, a whirlwind. The farmer perished." '''

This story has since been turned into a theatrical performance and is fairly popular among Third Form students to re-enact.

Depiction
Esur has not been depicted artistically, as his followers associate him with a certain type of music; this type of music being mostly pipe music or other natural noises.

Personality
Laid-back, calm and easy-going, Esur is one of the friendlier Lux Columni though he is one that can be occasionally serious as well.

He seems to feel a level of connection with mortals that is comparable to that of Punsari, and this would seem to cement the theory about Esur originally being a mortal himself.

Abilities
As the Empyrean of Agriculture, Esur also controls or at the very least can influence the consumption and preparation of food. He also is able to curse mortals to "eat and eat and eat for eternity without satisfaction" but rarely resorts to this unless he is severely offended.

Relationships
"I cherish these people, may their lives be long and fruitful!"

Punsar- "We share a common interest. He is the only one who enjoys mortal-kind as much as I do."

"My most trusted allies!"

The Collective- "A few, such as Amara seem to have..questionable morals however the group as a whole isn't too bad."

"What is it?"

"Please refrain before you hurt yourself."
