And yet, we are told that the Rajan's staff was an inhumi and that at night he
spoke to it.<BR>> It's unexpected, even puzzling. But there it is. Somehow

<DIV>Where are we told this? I can’t find it. Are you sure there is
no other interpretation? </DIV>

<DIV>AFAIK the Rajan’s staff was the one he took from the farmer who attacked
him in the Whorl, although later on he replaced it with one cut from a
vine/liana on Blue. It had a face of sorts, due to knots in the
wood. But the guy who cut that staff made staffs for all his
village.</DIV>
