Esar Ritual[]

When an heir will soon be promoted in his House, he reads through the pages delineating the different forms of esar and selects one for his own to which his soul can cleave. It is common to request a calligrapher to paint an aphorism that suits the Noble's esar on a scroll for the occasion. This will be returned if the heir is rejected.
