The Verdant Spire is a staff and Vestement of The Shatter. Its currently in an unknown location and hidden from divination and other scrying magics.

Description

The Verdant Spire was crafted by followers of Starweaver to be a channel for their direct connection to the idea of the stars and draw on their gods power during The Shatter. The followers pulled a piece of a livewood tree and embedded a fragment of Verdant Stone from the domain of Starweaver, in doing so the piece of wood gained constellation like carvings deep into its bark that seem to stem together towards the shard of Verdant Stone that acts as a central star for many of the constellations.

History

Origins

The Verdant Spire was crafted by followers of Starweaver to be a channel for their direct connection to the idea of the stars and draw on their gods power during The Shatter. They were gifted with a vision of the Starweaver and in doing so unleashed a direct version of his power into the staff, causing it to be filled with constellations along the livewood that made up the staff. Additionally, this vision of the Starweaver embedded the piece of Verdant Stone into the spire.
Upon its creation it is said that the two shooting stars were spotted by the followers. The group went to where the stars landed on the ground and were able to place the staff on each of the two of them, in doing so the staff was infused with additional powers and started to glow gently while in their presence. The two fallen objects were eventually crafted into an amulet given to each member of the group of followers.

The Shatter

During The Shatter, the Verdant Spire was wielded by a dwarven champion of Starweaver known as Tenya Querlas, or Bright Star in Ancient High Al-Havemna. This champion was a masked figure wearing only a blank green mask filled with constellations that would glow when they struck an opponent with the divine power of the Verdant Spire.
In one of the later battles of The Shatter, it is claimed that Tenya Querlas was stabbed by a champion of the Lord of Lies, leading to the staff falling out of their hands and going missing for the next several centuries. While stories of its power has perforated into modern culture, its location and current wielder are unknown.
