	The ''Great Fungus'' has a number of boons that might interest Imperial magicians. It can offer aid with rituals that encourage [[Spring magic#Ruin\|decay and collapse]], or the destruction of crafted goods or structures. It also has power to support attempts to renew damaged or ruined lands, or to bring forth new life from rot and decay. As a being fascinated with fungus and mushrooms, it also ~~can~~ offer boons related to replicating or enhancing the hallucinogenic or poisonous properties of many fungi. According to some sources, this interest can provide insight into the magic of Spring, or even into the nature of living creatures.

	More than any other eternal except perhaps [[Yaw'nagrah]], Llofir's realm bursts at the seams with magical substances. Often referred to as ''[[Yaw%27nagrah#Donahorti\|donahorti]]'', they differ from those associated with the ''Green Mother'' both in their properties - related to ruin and renewal rather than [[Spring magic#chaos\|chaos]] or [[Spring_magic#Fertility\|fertility]] - and because they invariably take the form of fungus or fungal spores. ''Whisperspore'', for example, takes the form of pale, powdery spores that can be inhaled to empower an adept of Spring lore to work their magic more easily, especially Spring magic that causes rot and renewal such as [[Turns the Circle]]. There have also been several cases of mushrooms gathered under Llofir's auspices that have produced powerful if sometimes unpredictable mind-altering substances.

	The Quiet One is usually described as calm, placid and extremely long-sighted. Where other Spring eternals live in the moment, Llofir seems utterly disconnected from concerns of past and future.

It is also fascinated with disease and sickness, and the way they cause healthy organisms to fall apart or become weak.		The Quiet One is usually described as calm, placid and extremely long-sighted.

	Some magicians believe that Llofir's interest in rot and decay extends beyond the physical, literal manifestation of decomposition and ~~include~~ the philosophical idea that complex structures such as societies and ~~Empire~~ also need to be periodically killed and broken down so that new societies can grow from the 'mulch' they leave behind.

In a similar vein, the ''Lady of the Toadstools'' expresses an uncharacteristic virulent hatred for things which inhabit dead flesh and prevent it rotting (such as the husks produced by [[Quickening Cold Meat]] or the transformation effected by [[Mark the Flesh Incorruptible]]). It ~~offesr~~ boons to help destroy them or return them to their "natural" space in the cycle; on one occasion this involved investing the unliving husks created by ''Quickening Cold Meat'' with spores that quickly rotted the bodies inhabited by the winter spirits.

	As with eternals such as [[Yaw'nagrah]], Llofir is believed to be truly massive - an entire ecosystem with a single consciousness behind it. Where Llofir differs from other Spring eternals is that its body is composed of fungus and moulds - sometimes on an epic scale. It is known to 'bud' smaller, humanoid forms that are in some way vessels for its consciousness with which it can speak to mortals; many of these strange creatures serve as its heralds, guards and courtiers. They range in size from a few feet tall through dangerous animalistic creatures to massive, shambling horrors that move like a tide of animate matter.

	The ''Great Fungus'' has a number of boons that might interest Imperial magicians. It can offer aid with rituals that encourage [[Spring magic#Ruin\|decay and collapse]], or the destruction of crafted goods or structures. It also has power to support attempts to renew damaged or ruined lands, or to bring forth new life from rot and decay. As a being fascinated with fungus and mushrooms, it also can offer boons related to replicating or enhancing the hallucinogenic or poisonous properties of many fungi. According to some sources, this interest can provide insight into the magic of Spring, or even into the nature of living creatures.

	Some magicians believe that Llofir's interest in rot and decay extends beyond the physical, literal manifestation of decomposition and include the philosophical idea that complex structures such as societies and Empire also need to be periodically killed and broken down so that new societies can grow from the 'mulch' they leave behind. This would be a very sophisticated position for a Spring eternal to take, but not entirely inconsistent with the 'long view' that Llofir appears to take.

	The eternal has several times expressed a dislike for the [[vallorn]], and even offered aid in weakening or destroying it. It appears that the unquenchable wellspring of life that fills vallorn-infested areas is at odds with Llofir's focus on the cyclic nature of death, decay, and new life arising from the remnants of the old.

It appears that the unquenchable wellspring of life that fills vallorn-infested areas is at odds with Llofir's focus on the cyclic nature of death, decay, and new life arising from the remnants of the old. In a similar vein, the ''Lady of the Toadstools'' expresses an uncharacteristic virulent hatred for things which inhabit dead flesh and prevent it rotting (such as the husks produced by [[Quickening Cold Meat]] or the transformation effected by [[Mark the Flesh Incorruptible]]). It offesr boons to help destroy them or return them to their "natural" space in the cycle; on one occasion this involved investing the unliving husks created by ''Quickening Cold Meat'' with spores that quickly rotted the bodies inhabited by the winter spirits.
			===Recent History===

	In 380YE, Llofir was responsible for a [[A_season_of_mushrooms\|wave of Spring magic]] that swept across newly-liberated [[Reikos]]. In the process, it claimed the region of [[Reikos#Tamarbode\|Tamarbode]] for itself. In the years that followed, it resisted Imperial efforts to reclaim the region while simultaneously offering to provide assistance to the efforts to fight the vallorn. The Winter Solstice 382YE saw Llofir [[382YE_Winter_Solstice_Conclave_sessions#Enmity_:_Llofir\|placed under enmity]] by the Conclave. Then in Summer 383YE, a [[383YE_Summer_Solstice_winds_of_war#Destroying_Angels\|combined operation]] by the [[Wolves of War]] and the [[Towerjacks]] ultimately destroyed Llofir's Garden and drove the eternal's forces back into the Spring realm. Llofir was less than pleased, to put it mildly.		In 380YE, Llofir was responsible for a [[A_season_of_mushrooms\|wave of Spring magic]] that swept across newly-liberated [[Reikos]].

	Indeed, when the [[Archmage of Spring]] Ibiss Briarheart next sought [[Archmage#Parley\|parley]] with the ''End of Empires'', in Winter 386YE, the eternal [[I_knew_you_were_trouble#Llofir\|refused in no uncertain terms]]. Instead, it made an extreme demand of the Conclave - that it be granted [[alignment#~~amiity~~\|amity]] with the intent that it would "ravage the Empire" in retribution for the destruction of its garden. Unsurprisingly, the Conclave refused to provide it with the opportunity to take revenge on Imperial citizens.

	In Autumn 387YE, however, Ibiss made another attempt to reconcile the Empire and the ''Rot Lord''. This time, [[Has_reared_himself_a_throne#Hours_Breathing_Faint_and_Low\|Llofir's response]] appeared a little more measured. In the end however, the Empire did not meet the eternal's demands; they did however, [[387YE_Autumn_Equinox_Conclave_sessions#Alignment:_Llofir,_Neutrality\|remove the existing enmity]] as "a show of trust."
