'''Jesker'''
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 ref|Elantris|chapter=32}} 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|16}}▼
▲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}}
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.
