Staff

A staff (pl. staves) was a type of melee weapon. These blunt weapons served several purposes. Some types were used for daily work, like the Shepherd's Cane, whilst others were specifically crafted for combat.

One profession that often used staves was priesthood. During the last centuries, priests have often used staves as a means to stay mobile, in rituals and as a symbol of their status.

One particular staff, the Staff of Hermes Trismegistus is actually an Isu Piece of Eden.
