Description
Staff embedded with sullied amber, said to be a very part of the Prince of Death.
Enhances death sorceries.
One of the staves deemed heretical by the academy for its ability to allow sorceries to be augmented through faith in addition to intelligence.
Notes
The Prince of Death's Staff weapon can be found at the following location:
From The Nameless Eternal CityGrace site of grace in Deeproot DepthsGrace, head east and you'll see a root ramp and a series rooftops forming a ramp. Go up either one, and at the very first intersection, drop down to the left and continue upward. The branch will turn left and lead to the top of a tower. The staff is in that tower.
