Character description

[David]

The Hierophant Druid Talidaar Quith’Usaran Arbigon is obviously a Half-Elf, given his almond shaped eyes, pointed ears, and his mustache and goatee. His long hair is held back into a cable by a series of ties, down to the middle of his back. It is dark brown with streaks of bright silver, which attest to his experiences while journeying the elemental planes. Otherwise, he appears to be in the prime of his health. He is roughly six feet tall and broader at the shoulder than an elf would be, yet he is not as obviously muscular as some humans. He wears a rich, dark brown robe with a green, hooded cloak. Always in his hand is his Staff of Chesliv (see other file). While on Krynn he is usually accompanied by his friend, Kass; the Legendary Panther. Kass can appear in his normal phase in which he is the size of a normal panther, or he can appear in his Feral phase in which he is the height of a small horse.

Appearance: The Staff appears to be a living Redwood sapling. The staff is roughly two inches in diameter, and is six feet, two inches in height. It has several branches sprouting from the top eighteen inches, and each branch has several - obviously living - leaves. The bark is fairly smooth, but just below the branches there are four almost identical faces circumnavigating the staff. Each is the face of Chislev, Goddess of Nature. Each face represents a different aspect of her essence: The Creator, The Healer, The Defender, and The Destroyer. These faces, although clearly visible, appear to have grown naturally in the staff. The Staff has no root system, but instead is capped in Iron.

Charges: Holds 100 charges if full.

Powers: The Staff has multiple powers, and should rightly be considered on par with the Staff of Power, or the Staff of the Arch Magi.
