Sunflower Staff

About

Nypir Tevo, the Pontiff of the Church of Ryla has an iron and gold staff in the shape of a sunflower with a soulstone at the head.

• The ability to discern truth from lies and is alerted to even the slightest effort at deception by those speaking in its presence.

• The staff and stone are seemingly immune to the ravages of time and other physical attempts to damage or separate them.
