Khalemkalsi's Staff

Khalemkalsi's Staff is a humanoid-scale staff with a sapphire pommel, steel shaft and two curved blades protecting a larger star sapphire orb mounted on electrum points.

Origins
Khalemkalsi's Staff was forged and encrusted by an unnamed tribal smith centuries before the Shadow's arrival in the First Era. Presented to the elemental priestess Khalemkalsi, the Staff embodied the tribe's mineral wealth and served as a status symbol to those outside the tribe's lands as well as those within. Khalemkalsi's Staff saw combat against the tribe's enemies, where it had served its wielder with distinction. In time, the lands surrounding the Frostfang Mountains served under the banner of the Staff, and a two-century peace prevailed over the warring tribes.

The Shadow & Loss of The Staff
By the dawn of the First Era, the tribe of the Pale had weakened from stagnation. Thus, when the Demons arrived from the Shrieking Sea, the tribe's defenses were torn asunder as the Demons ravaged every town, hamlet, and village. Amidst the terror driven by the Shadow's invasion, the Staff was stolen from the tribal confederacy's lodge in the Pale, though it is unknown whether it was a mortal thief or Demonic fire team that took it. As the remaining tribals were either exterminated or rounded up into labor camps, knowledge of the Staff vanished, and its whereabouts remain unknown to this day.

Abilities
Khalemkalsi's Staff provides an extension of the wielder's innate magical energy, offering otherwise inept practitioners some limited control of fire, water, and wood magic. The Staff is not believed to enhance the magical performance of skilled mages, however.

The Staff's blades confer additional combat ability at the risk of shattering the Star Sapphire in the fury of combat. Khalemkalsi's Staff will cease to provide support if the Star Sapphire cracks open or is otherwise irreparably damaged. It is unknown whether it is possible to repair or replace the Star Sapphire should it encounter its end.
