The World of Teréth End

"...[name] stood in the [name2] Hall, a hundred peers watching from the galleys above. She called her Provider's name, and all could feel the power she commanded. [name3] summoned his wards, but all that watched knew his efforts were in vain. The next name she offered was his, and the misery of [name3] was legend."

Staves

Staff of Tharad'Zor.  A five foot long heavy twisted staff inset with large precious stones.  The Staff of Tharad'Zor has not always been referred to as such. The staff itself is fashioned from Northwood horned-oak, particularly driftwood found along the Eteren Escarpment. The staff was crafted (circa 210 DR) by the wizard Colma. It is unclear what Colma's initial plans were for the staff, but over several years it was revised and gems affixed about its knotty head. The staff includes a fist-sized blue quartz mounted inside three fingers of shaped wood. Three chrysoberyls surround the base of the quartz with a single blood agate mounted beneath. The purpose of the blood agate is unknown, though it radiates similar magic.  D&D: Each of the stones are a spell slot, which must be imbued by the bearer. The red agate can hold up to one 3rd level spell; the quartz can hold up to one 2nd level spell; while the chrysoberyls can each hold up to one 1st level spell (each).  The bearer can imbue a stone with any one spell that he saves against at the time the spell is cast.  If the bearer saves against and stores a spell with an area affect, all others in that area are similarly saved versus its effects.  Copied spells may be cast from the staff at the bearer's level.  (5 lb) (O-12)

White Staff of Culn Madar .  An unadorned staff hewn from a strange milky white wood.  To activate the staff it must be grasped bare-handed at which time the white wood glows blood red.  When the glowing red staff is laid on the ground, it leaves a bloody puddle, and turns white again.  Sympathetic healing is popular among the Woadans, who believe in balances.  It is not believed that the staff was created by priests of Woad however, as the command phrase is Gnorm for "blood trade".  The staff is unlikely a Gnorm creation as it stands over 6 ft.  Culn Madar is the name of a stone circle in northern Ildûn.  D&D: When grasped, the bearer loses 1d6 hit points from a blood drain.  The blood drain is necessary to power the staff, and causes the glow.  When activated, the staff is a Quarterstaff +2.  Also, if another is touched and the command phrase "thuln dareb" invoked, the bearer may heal xd6 hit points of the subject, where "x" is a number of 1d6 Constitution points that the wielder loses temporarily.  The amount of Hit points granted to the target is completely random, as is the Constitution drained from the wielder.
