\|related=[[Duladel]], the [[Dor]] \|world=Sel \|universe=[[Cosmere]] \|books=[[Elantris (book)\|Elantris]] }} '''Jesker''' is a religion practiced on [[Sel]]. It is one of the oldest religions on Sel,{{book ref\|Elantris\|9}} and was effectively exterminated when the [[Duladel Republic]] was overthrown by [[Hrathen]]. Many call Jesker a 'primitive' religion, though saying this was considered offensive to its followers.{{book ref\|Elantris\|22}} Jesker appears to involve spirits.{{book ref\|Elantris\|32}} The [[Dor]] is referred to as the Jesker "overspirit".{{book ref\|Elantris\|41}} Jesker is said to look to the Dor and attempt to understand it.{{~~annotation~~wob ref\|~~Elantris\|chapter=32~~2062}} Followers of the Jesker religion strive to bring themselves in harmony with the Dor and subsequently with nature,{{glossary ref\|Elantris\|J}} and taught that everything knew of the Dor, except humans, who could be oblivious to it.{{book ref\|Elantris\|19}} Jesker also ascribed importance to the heaven's movements, and according to [[Hrathen]], worshipped the moon.{{book ref\|Elantris\|33}} The [[Jeskeri Mysteries]] are a religious cult that was related to Jesker, but [[Galladon]] insists it is a mockery of true Jesker,{{book ref\|Elantris\|19}} who did not have any true understanding of the Dor.{{book ref\|Elantris\|16}} The Jeskeri priests also teach that the [[Elantrian]]s are damned.{{book ref\|Elantris\|1}} When [[Raoden]] first entered [[Elantris (city)\|Elantris]], an Elantrian said that all priests, including Jesker, said that they were damned.{{book ref\|Elantris\|1}} This may not be indicative of Jesker itself, as Arelish have more experience with the Mysteries than the defunct Jesker. == Notes == ~~{{columns\|~~<references />}} {{complete\|[[User:Chaos2651\|Chaos2651]] ([[User talk:Chaos2651\|talk]]) 15:50, 16 June 2018 (MST)}} ~~{{complete\|reviewed=yes}}~~ {{Elantris}} [[Category: Religion]]
