Quost's Staff of the Elements  (QUOST)   New in Heart of Winter

The wizard Quost Curion was the creator of this staff. He was a mercenary mage who loved summoning allies to dole out punishment against his enemies. Often, however, he found that he was running out of spells at a time when he needed them the most. At great personal expense, Quost created this staff over a period of seven years. His staff was very effective until he went into battle with an abjurer who was prepared to deal with his summoned monsters. Quost was killed in battle in 1063 and his staff was claimed by his killer, Balder Renold.

Spendelard's Protector   

The wizard Spendelard was famous for his extremely utilitarian spells. While he was not threatened a great deal during his life, his rare but far-reaching travels often took him into dangerous situations. A staff of his making protected him on those occasions. He eventually acquired a staff, which he found more to his liking and sold his worn Protector to a traveling druid of Chauntea.

Staff of Besieging  (STAFFBES)   New in Heart of winter

A favorite among transmuters, this particular staff was created by a wizard named Gulph the Tiny. A diminutive human mage, Gulph didn't want to be stuck in a situation where he would have to rely on his physical abilities. This staff helped him have the upper hand in magical duels. Gulph met his end when he foolishly went looking for Ibenian Mushrooms in a grove full of quicklings. The staff remained among the quicklings for several years until a passing party of adventurers slaughtered the evil fae creatures and took the staff as their own.

The Staff of Eron  (ERON)   New in Heart of Winter

Eron the Dismayed was a pessimistic wizard with a propensity for magical dueling. He believed that the only way to become strong in the Art was to test his powers against other wizards. However, he also believed that thieves and assassins were constantly looking to steal his wealth. To make himself appear mundane, he wore the clothes of a pilgrim and carried a simple elm walking staff. In reality, the staff was magically enchanted to be more potent in combat, but Eron didn't want to risk advertising that fact.

Staff of Moradin's Breath

This staff was used sparingly by priests of Moradin during their darkest hours. Enchanted by several high priests, the Staff of Moradin's Breath has resurrected some of the greatest dwarven heroes of Dorn's Deep. It was last used to resurrect Creed Dorn, killed by elven archers and mages during a battle near Kuldahar Pass. The staff was hidden in Lower Dorn's Deep to prevent it from being stolen by orcs when they finally overran the dwarven defenses.

Made during the golden age between the elves of the Seldarine's Hand and the dwarves of Dorn's Deep.

The Summoner's Staff

A powerful weapon and tool, this staff was created by the powerful archmage Ubath of the Celestial Sign. Originally of Algarond, Ubath commanded great respect for his skills as a summoner of beasts and elementals. Unfortunately, Ubath's desire for power drove him to extreme lengths. His conjuring of extremely powerful entities from the lower planes is what eventually did him in. This staff is his most prominent legacy. It was left behind, slightly blackened, when he was dragged away to Acheron.
