Origin

The staff is several thousand years old. According to the legends it was crafted as a gift for Lamusa by a gifted enchanter. Lamusa was a powerful sorceress who served a small city state at the Tigris river.   A powerful necromancer killed Lamusa in her sleep and took the staff for himself. With the help of the staff he summoned a great army of the undead an conquered the city and the subjugated the land around it. He ruled as tyrant and was feared by all.   The gifted enchanter heard of Lamusa's death many years later. As a member of the Dragon loyalists he asked other's to join him in a raid to take back the staff and make sure that it was once again in deserving hands. He created a small team of assassins who carried out their mission during a silent night. They infiltrated the necromancers stronghold and killed him.   The staff was once again back in hands of the enchanter and became a heirloom of the Dragonic Order. It was usually used by the leader of the order or by a high ranking officer. Today the staff is held in a vault somewhere and does not find any use.
