 Regardless of the method, a healer is often expected to balance the practical and the spiritual, offering their services without asking for much in return beyond respect and the occasional token of gratitude. Whether they are part of an organized medical profession or working independently, Healers hold the fragile threads of life in their hands, doing what they can to mend, restore, and preserve health in a world that can often be brutal and unforgiving. Their knowledge and compassion make them pillars in the communities they serve, and their sacrifices are often remembered in tales and prayers long after their work is done.
