The Alder
The sacred staff of Wyld legend. A finger snapped from the tender hand of the Empress Alora, from the sacred arm of her Alder tree. Arcing branches dipped in gold, hold an orb of glowing moonstone like so many clasped hands. Enchanted by the spirit of the witch, Oscelda, and the sacrifice of the Empress of Eldveil, both. Wield your ancestral arm with power, child of Oscelda.
