The Jotun-Wail Stave

A heavy, two-handed staff carved from a single gnarled branch of void-blackened ash. Across its surface, jagged runes are etched deep into the wood, leaking a pale, violet light that flickers like dying stars. The wood feels surprisingly cold, as if it has been left in the heart of Niflheim, and its weight suggests a material denser than any terrestrial timber.
