Lefin

Lefin is one of the graded Tambaran spirits of Ilahita, ranked among the lower stages of the cult between Falanga and Maolimu. Each such grade is a named spirit-being with its own emblems and observances, and the initiand's passage through Lefin carries him a further step into the concealed knowledge of the men's society.
