Healers are rare and revered entities, drawn to wounds both visible and hidden. Wielding herbs, tools, words, or simply presence, they mend what others fear to face. Though often mistaken for passive caretakers, healers possess great strength—the kind forged through witnessing pain without turning away.

Some practice in sterile temples of metal and light; others carry roots in their satchels and fire in their eyes. Beware: to be near a healer is to be seen, and seeing can be more terrifying than any blade.

Their magic lies not in erasing pain, but in teaching others how to carry it with dignity.
