	==Appearance==		===Appearance===
	Irra Harah is invariably young, and takes the form of a humanoid with strong [[briar]] lineage. He is usually dressed in leather armour, and carries a one-handed spear and a shield. Any equipment he bears is woven from briars, vines, branches and leaves - occasionally it will include elements such as stone or polished flint but it rarely includes any metal. On occasion he appears in a less martial aspect, in which case he wears clothing appropriate to that of a slave, outsider or oppressed people.

	Scholars are uncertain what Irra Harah's "true" form may look like - it is speculated that it is a wild expanse of bramble-choked, wild woodland in the same way that [[Yaw'nagrah]] is a mighty forest or [[Llofir]] is a region of fungus.

	==Concerns==		===Concerns===
	Irra Harah is extremely sophisticated - for a Spring Eternal. It is concerned with the oppressed, the silenced and the powerless. Early tales suggest that Irra Harah's interest in the weak and the conquered has grown throughout history and that initially its concerns revolved mostly around survival by any means. Even today, Irra Harah will tend to suggest that the truly weak flee rather than offer armed resistance to overwhelming force. When the weak must fight, he encourages them to use any weapon at their disposal, and win by any means necessary to secure their safety.		Irra Harah is extremely sophisticated - for a Spring Eternal.

	The Prince with a Thousand Foes appears in a number of very ancient stories told to children. In such tales, he appears as a child, rabbit or sparrow, and usually encounters a creature clearly based on the ~~Eternal~~ [[Arhallogen]] which wishes to eat him. Through cunning, deception and [[Courage]] Irra Harah escapes or in rare circumstances defeats Arhallogen. It is believed that this enmity is reflected in reality - given Arhallogen is the epitome of the strong predator and Irra Harah epitomizes the weak and preyed upon, this is unsurprising.

	He has neither interest in nor time for the strong, mighty and powerful; they can look after themselves. His primary concern is with the physically weak who must use tools other than personal strength to survive in a hostile world. As his concerns have matured, he has increasingly encouraged the downtrodden to stand up for themselves and question their lot in life. Some are encouraged to leave dangerous situations - there are a few minor anecdotes that suggest one of the [[Landskeeper\|Landskeepers]] involved in the [[The Marches\|Marcher]] exodus from [[Dawn]] spent time communicating with Irra Harah. Others are encouraged to take up arms against tyrants or rulers who deny them freedoms they themselves take for granted. It appears to not entirely understand the concept of peaceful resistance, but approves of the use of activism, rhetoric and social change by those who are lucky enough to live in civilised nations where such things are possible.

	The Prince with a Thousand Foes strongly encourages the protection of the next generation and the preservation of the young. Irra Harah believes strongly that children should be protected at all times; everyone should ensure that children are preserved from physical dangers and raised with the cleverness and cunning to ensure they survive to have children of their own. Anyone who cannot have, or chooses not to have, children should spend time protecting and strengthening their pack, clan or family.

	During the [[The_Orc_Rebellion\|~~Orc~~ revolt]], several slave-magicians were able to meet with ~~Heralds~~ of Irra Harah and gain boons that helped them support their allies, destroy slaver stockades and the like - one common boon was a cudgel that smashed chains apart. During the ~~Orc~~ revolt, Irra Harah was placed under [[Declaration]] of [[Amity_and_enmity#Enmity\|enmity]] by the [[Imperial Conclave]]; the declaration persisted through the events of the [[Freedom Heresy]] - the ~~Eternal~~ made no attempt to hide its support for the briars and by extension the atrocities they committed in the name of their [[Malign spiritual presences#anarchy\|personal freedom]]. This decision of the Conclave apparently made no ~~interest~~ to the ~~Eternal~~ at all, who continued to use whatever power it could to interfere in the Empire.

During the orc revolt, Irra Harah was placed under [[Declaration]] of [[Amity_and_enmity#Enmity\|enmity]] by the [[Imperial Conclave]]; the declaration persisted through the events of the [[Freedom Heresy]], as the eternal made no attempt to hide its support for the briars - and by extension the atrocities they committed in the name of their [[Malign spiritual presences#anarchy\|personal freedom]]. This decision of the Conclave apparently made no difference to the eternal at all, who continued to use whatever power it could to interfere in the Empire.

	The declaration was overturned in 368YE; the ~~Heralds~~ of Irra Harah offered valuable assistance to several communities besieged by barbarians - they helped citizens in [[Reikos]], [[Spiral]], [[Liathaven]] and the [[Mournwold]] to escape orc attackers, and several Navarr [[steading\|steadings]] in Liathaven are still receiving sporadic aid.
