 While some Hermits might walk the world in search of enlightenment or a divine calling, others seek to escape the burdens of society or the trauma of past events. Whether they are solitary mystics, reclusive scholars, or simply individuals in search of peace, the Hermit’s time alone grants them wisdom and insight that others may lack. Their solitude has often led them to develop a unique relationship with the divine, a quiet connection that fuels their magical abilities or inner peace. A Hermit’s bond with the natural world can manifest in strange and unexpected ways, such as a deep connection to an animal companion or an ability to harness divine magic without a formal religious order.
-A life of isolation has its price, and a Hermit’s journey often leads them to a profound understanding of themselves. Yet the quiet of their solitude can become a double-edged sword—while they may have gained clarity in their own mind, they might struggle to relate to others. Their inner peace, while valuable, can be unsettling for those who have not walked the same path. The Hermit walks the world, often with only the wisdom of their own experience as a guide, ready to share their insights—or their silence—with those they meet.
