The raiment of the four was used by a druid. This is what it says about him:
A charismatic druid named Alain made his home in the village of Ra’anan. The village was the target of various natural disasters—droughts, floods, tornados, and more. Alain was able to fend off many of these disasters because of his bond with nature. One night a vision came to him, instructing him in the methods to create a set of magic items tied to the earth, sky, sea, and sun. Following the instructions from his vision, Alain traveled to the four corners of the world to gather the necessary components for each item.
Once constructed, the raiment of the four aided Alain in his exploits, which eventually expanded beyond the small village in which he was born. With the raiment he could travel safely through deadly areas of the world, and survive once there. Alain traveled the worlds for the rest of his days, never again returning to Ra’anan.
Alain’s spirit is said to be drawn to pieces of the raiment. If all four pieces are brought together, Alain’s spirit can communicate with the wearer, imparting secrets of the multiverse.
If you have all four pieces, you can get the effects of a Commune spell once per day, asking Alain's spirit up to four questions a day.
Commune lets you:
You contact your deity—or agents thereof —and ask questions that can be answered by a simple yes or no. (A cleric of no particular deity contacts a philosophically allied deity.) You are allowed one such question per caster level. The answers given are correct within the limits of the entity’s knowledge. “Unclear” is a legitimate answer, because powerful beings of the Outer Planes are not necessarily omniscient. In cases where a one-word answer would be misleading or contrary to the deity’s interests, a short phrase (five words or less) may be given as an answer instead.
The spell, at best, provides information to aid character decisions. The entities contacted structure their answers to further their own purposes. If you lag, discuss the answers, or go off to do anything else, the spell ends.
What kind of things would be reasonable to ask a druid spirit? It doesn't seem like he would know as much as most agents you contact, but the level is described as commune so it seems like it should?
