Imperial Staff

Item from Mother of Learning by nobody103

The teleportation treasure — an Imperial artifact that allows instant travel to six persistent recall points, held by the powerful mage Violeteye in the distant city of Blantyrre.

The Staff solves the time loop's greatest logistical challenge: geography. With only one month per iteration, travel time is a critical constraint. The Staff's six recall points allow instant teleportation to pre-set locations anywhere in the world, turning weeks of travel into seconds of transit. Violeteye's possession of the Staff makes Blantyrre a necessary destination despite its distance from Cyoria. Negotiating with — or stealing from — a mage powerful enough to hold an Imperial Treasure for decades is a challenge that tests different skills than dungeon delving or combat magic.

Appearance

A tall staff of dark wood or metal, topped with a crystalline focus that contains spatial distortions visible as faint rippling in the air around it. Ikosian craftsmanship with the elegant proportions of imperial ceremonial objects. The focus point occasionally flickers with dimensional energy, briefly showing glimpses of the recall points it's attuned to.
