Korhül
Korhül is the second-in-command of Iolanthe and the public face of the Circle of Stones.1
Appearance
Korhül is a bushy-bearded, deep-voiced man who often wears no shirt and an elaborate headdress that has earned him the nickname Horned Man.1
Associates
Korhül serves as the liaison between Iolanthe and other members of the Circle of Stones; a visitor who manages to fast-talk the common members must still convince him before being allowed to talk to Iolanthe. Since Iolanthe rarely leaves her sanctum, most citizens of Absalom know Korhül as the cult's public face.2
When not attending to Iolanthe, he offers private sermons to fellow cult members or advocates for a simpler life. He particularly despises institutions that subjugate or kill animals, like the Absalom Menagerie.1
In 4717 AR, Korhül tapped a secret power source to create the leaf leshy Tumult Flower Flourish, who founded the Brattlebunch, a leshy gang that Korhül employs to spy on key figures and harass enemies of both himself and the Circle of Stones as a whole.13
Background
Korhül and Iolanthe have begun to suspect that someone is leeching power from the Grand Holt, their ancient tree, by attacking its root system from below. Following Iolanthe's order, Korhül now bankrolls mapping projects under Eastgate to track down the culprit.1
