LE-1F

**LE-1F**, usually written and pronounced as Leif, is a warforged druid and a member of the Lords of Kylia. He serves as Kylia's treasurer, and is the current bearer of the Hand and Eye of Vecna. He resides in his druid grove in the northern part of Kylia, along with Thymgold and Urion.

## Description

### Appearance

LE-1F is a towering warforged, standing over 8 feet tall. He is constructed entirely from wood, unlike most warforged, who are built of metal. In his chest is a synthetic version of the Heart of Spring, constructed by the Talos Project using data from the original Heart. His body is covered in plants, mostly moss, but flowers and vines, too. However, due to the Eye and Hand of Vecna, his left forearm and eye are unique. His left arm appears as decayed wood, with golden lines of sap running up into his body, similar to blood vessels. His left eye is golden with a black cat-like pupil. LE-1F, even before the Hand granted him unnatural strength, has a very thick build, and is tremendously heavy, weighing almost five hundred pounds, due to the enormous weight of the wood that comprises his flesh and his internal components.

#### Equipment

LE-1F usually wears a green sash adorned with gold detailing, which he obtained in Urd. He also frequently wields a wooden shield in his right hand, and a druidic focus in his left. Up until the Battle of Kanth, he used the Staff of Corellion, until it was broken by Raxis to free LE-1F from Feeblemind. He also possesses a bag of holding, which contains a majority of the funds of the Lords of Kylia. For a time, he also used Holgengaard, until he gave it to Aritan to use against the constructs of the Demoagogue. He currently wields Woodwoad, though he usually keeps it sheathed, preferring to keep his hand free to perform somatic components.

### Personality

Before attuning to the Hand of Vecna, LE-1F was a kind individual who sought to protect his friends above all else. However, he did still frequently seek to protect other people. After attaching the Hand, LE-1F became much more cruel, caring less for the lives of those outside of his close circle of friends.

#### Lack of Intelligence

Perhaps LE-1F's most defining trait is his dismal intelligence. Though quite wise, LE-1F knows little of the world around him. His writing is incredibly poor, and he only read slowly. He is frequently impulsive, considering only the short-term consequences of his actions, and almost entirely ignoring the long-term dangers. A good example of this is LE-1F's nonchalance upon losing the Eating Stone. He also occasionally forgets the abilities of his equipment, such the Staff of Corellion, especially its ability to remove curses.

##### Misunderstanding of Religion

One result of LE-1F's poor intelligence is his unawareness of what religion entails. He has sworn allegiance or pledged to follow five different gods at some point over his adventures, those being Corellion, Tharzidun, Vecna, Bahamut, and Talona. He sees this as an easy way to gain benefits, without having to do all that much in return. He is confused by those devout to a single religion, since he considers them to have limited themselves to recieving benefits from only one source, rather than many, as he has.

## Biography

### Background

LE-1F was built by the Talos Project as a containment unit for a synthetic version of the Heart of Spring. However, while he experienced temporary bouts of sentience as they activated and deactivated him, the researchers of the project poked and prodded at him, causing him great pain. When he was fully activated, LE-1F broke out of the laboratory, escaping the clutches of the project. He headed south, mostly wandering, until he ran into the Forest Guard outside of Argendale. When they asked him if he wanted to head deeper into Argendale, he said yes, out of pure curiosity. On the boat ride deeper into Argendale, he met the other Lords of Kylia. Seeing as they were the strongest people he had met so far, he decided to stick with them, and has continued to do so.

## Abilities

### Physical Ability

LE-1F is unnaturally strong, and possesses tremendous fortitude. He is a skilled grappler, especially while transformed into a beast. He also possesses supernatural wisdom, though this is offset by his poor intelligence. LE-1F can also speak Undergoblin, a strange dialect of both Undercommon and Goblin, that few people on the Material Plane speak.

### **Druidic Magic**

LE-1F is currently the most powerful druid in all of existence. He receives his powers from the synthetic Heart implanted within him, rather than from a deity or nature itself like a typical druid. Though he is not a member of any official druidic circle, his abilities and desires most closely align with the Circle of the Moon. Thus, he is able to cast spells manipulating nature around him, and can transform into a variety of animals or elementals.

### Hand and Eye of Vecna

The Hand and Eye of Vecna grant LE-1F a variety of abilities. See the Eye and Hand of Vecna for more details about the innate abilities of these artifacts. They also work uniquely with the Heart of Spring, granted LE-1F a unique ability to wield lifeforce that a normal druid would lack. With this ability, LE-1F can create undead zombies by using plants to animate them, heal others at the cost of his own life, and drain the lifeforce of others.

### Druid Grove

The grove that LE-1F resides in grants him a variety of abilities. It augments his ability to transform into animals, granting him more powerful shapes, such as elementals, monstrosities, or dragons. Furthermore, while near his grove, LE-1F can summon allies, banish, or entangle enemies. Finally, once a season, LE-1F can grant someone the gift of foresight, allowing them to see into the immediate future.
