Staff of Nex Nec Tamen

History
Mythguard acquired it and then Aven Dar physically broke it over his knee so it could never work again. - Sir Iawen Penn-Nosetti

Description
Bright, blue wooden staff with silver futhark runes all over it

Rune Translation
(translated from the futhark)

staff of nex nec tamen

weaver of deciept

channel of undeath

instrument of betrayal

the pen that writes the tale of the damned

a warning to the fool who wields me

Effects
This was thought to be a staff of healing to those who could not translate. It turned out to be a staff that technically kept the fight alive... as people came back as undead. Once their bodies and clothing had completely rotted away to nothing, their souls were still stuck fighting as ghosts.
