![[LifferlasPathfinder.webp]] # Lifferlas _Awakened Tree Staff | [[Kan'Rahd]]'s Companion_ ## Summary Once the oldest and most beloved awakened tree of [[Goldenfields]], corrupted by the [[Blightmaidens]] and turned against his home. After the heroes defeated the hags and freed him, his damaged form was transformed into a druidic staff that now serves as [[Kan'Rahd]]'s companion, retaining his jovial personality and love of wordplay. %% ## Now Lives on in [[Kan'Rahd]]'s druidic staff, a bonded ally of the party and the [[Goldenfields]]. ## Appearance A gnarled staff carved from Lifferlas's heartwood, bark patterns and small leaves sprouting from its surface, the faint outline of his former face still visible: twinkling knots for eyes, moss resembling a grin. ## Personality Retains his jovial nature despite the transformation, still loving wordplay and gentle pranks, though more subdued. Fiercely protective of [[Kan'Rahd]] and grateful for his rescue. Feels profound guilt about being used against [[Goldenfields]], and sometimes experiences phantom sensations from his former body. Speaks in a slow rumbling whisper only [[Kan'Rahd]] and other druids can clearly hear. ## Quote _"Little sprout, even the mightiest oak can become something new while keeping its roots. I may be smaller, but my love for this world has only grown stronger."_ ## Connections **[[Kan'Rahd]]** — rescuer and bearer; his companion in staff form. ## Background **The Living Chronicle:** Awakened centuries ago by a powerful druid, he grew alongside [[Goldenfields]] as a living record of the settlement's history. **The Corruption:** The [[Blightmaidens]] — [[Noxaura Nightbloom]], [[Poxlyn Gloomleaf]], and [[Mirella Rotroot]] — corrupted him with dark magic, turning his joyful spirit into a weapon of decay. **The Preservation:** Dying from spiritual wounds, his consciousness was preserved in staff form by [[Kan'Rahd]]'s ritual. %%
