Jarn

Járn, also referred to as Járn Ironborn by the Valdic tribes, is a holy figure in Essentist, known for the miraculous circumstances of his survival as an infant. In the Fall of 9 VE, Járn was found cradled by the lifeless body of Márlín, a celestial Aeldrin who had fallen to Earth. The scene of Márlín's broken body, yet her unscathed child in her arms, became a profound symbol of divine love, protection and sacrifice in Essentist belief.
The child was named Járn, meaning "Iron," due to the miracle of surviving the fall from the heavens without a single injury, an event considered a direct act of divine intervention. Essentists believe that Márlín sacrificed herself to protect Járn, possibly foreseeing his significance in both the celestial and mortal realms. It is exceedingly rare for an Aeldrin to appear on Earth, leading many to question what dire events unfolded that would compel such a divine being to intervene. To this day, the true cause of her fall remains one of the great mysteries in Essentist lore. This act of protection has led many to believe that Járn is more than just a mortal child, but one who carries a fragment of the divine within him.
The true nature of Járn remains a mystery within Essentist belief. Found cradled by the lifeless body of Márlín, an Aeldrin, his origins are the subject of much speculation. Some believe Járn is human, blessed with divine protection, while others suspect he may be more, perhaps a half-Aeldrin, carrying within him a fragment of celestial essence. Some even speculate that Márlín was shielding Járn from the Aeldvik, though what exactly led to her fall remains unknown. As the event occurred recently, debate continues among Essentists regarding whether Járn is a mortal child, a divine being, or something in between, destined to bridge the celestial and mortal realms.
