Lore:

Whisperstags are towering, antlered beings whose bodies resonate with low, mournful hums that echo through the glades. Their antlers stretch like tree branches, and glyphs of grief form naturally upon their hides as they age. To encounter a Whisperstag is said to be a blessing of ancestral acknowledgment—they only appear when a Seeker is ready to grieve.

Their hum can harmonize with spiral winds, allowing the forest to align with the emotional resonance of the being who walks within. When they walk through a sacred grove, it is said the roots listen more clearly.

It is forbidden to chase or speak loudly in the presence of a Whisperstag. They are known as the Forest’s Voice of Mourning.
