Leshii

The Leshii are powerful forest spirits and Mages. Their true forms are unknown. A Leshii may change its shape and size at will, though it does have a few favorite forms. The first form is that of a humanoid, made completely out of wood, with clothing that seems made from bark and hair of foliage and leaves. In this form, the Leshii carry a large club which it uses to great effect. Its other favorite form is that of a giant talking mushroom.

The Leshii can only be found in their home forests, from which they never travel. Most of the Leshii on Cyradon are found within the Idrisil Forest in Aneirin, although there are a few in other areas around Cyradon. A Leshii’s forest demesne normally is no more than about 10 or 20 miles in diameter.

A Leshii will monitor all visitors within its demesne, attacking all who wantonly kill animals, plants, and trees. So long as intruders into its demesne are respectful of nature, it will leave them alone. Occasionally, one will befriend an outsider and possibly even teach them some magic. Leshii all possess Nature’s Gift, which is the knowledge of all plant, tree, and nature related spells, as well as instantly knowing when somebody enters their demesne, and where that person is at all times while within their sphere of influence.
