Polevik
The Polevik, also known as Grainfathers or Grandfather Grain are communal Ancient Spirits of Scythe and Soil in Kislev [1a] and the eastern Empire. [2a]
Polevik appear as hundreds of stalks with tiny faces, arms, and legs. [2a]
They feed on the slaughter of plants but will offer services for blood sacrifices such as consecrating scythes or the weapons of farmers rising against their masters. Impatient and nasty in disposition they constantly whisper to each other. [1a]

Powers
They can both bless and curse weapons. [1a]
Summoning
On the wax of the dark moon they can be called by chanting their name and the following Master, stand before me as the leaf before the grass, neither black or green, but just like me. I have brought you a red harvest. Human blood must then be poured on the soil, the amount depending on the favour that is to be asked. [1a]
Quotes
| Bring the harvest, talking later. Feed us, feed us and then we'll tell. Thirsty, thirsty, more of harvest. We shall make your blade cut keen
~ Grainfathers. [1a] |
