Staff of Nicator

The Staff of Nicator is a legendary relic that was first gifted to Nicator, founder of the Seleucarian Empire, by the Logos. It was later wielded by Catarin deSangre in the Wars of Succession. Since then, the Staff has served as the prize awarded to the champion of each semicentennial celebration of the Empire's fall.

Physically, the Staff spans a length of about six feet and is carved from the finest golden wood. Ancient, intricate carvings wreathe one half of the staff, while the other is polished to a smooth sheen. The head is adorned in a variety of precious jewels, bringing the weight of the staff to five pounds. The abilities granted by the Staff of Nicator are ever-changing and vary according to the person who wields it at any given time. It is said that these powers work by magnifying the extant qualities of the Staff's wielder.
