Item from Primal Hunter by Zogarth
The Malefic Viper's personal weapon — an ancient staff crafted from Yggdrasil's roots, forbidden metals, and a corrupted Godking-level elemental orb.
The Black Snake Staff is a True-Grade weapon — a classification that most beings consider theoretical. It was crafted from Yggdrasil's roots (meaning the Viper has a complicated relationship with the World Tree), forbidden realm metals (meaning he went places that are off-limits even to other Primordials), and a corrupted elemental orb (meaning he took something pure and made it toxic). The staff is less a weapon and more a statement about who the Viper is and what he's willing to do.
An ancient wooden staff with metal bindings and a dark green orb at its head that pulses with contained power. The wood grain has the unmistakable pattern of Yggdrasil's roots — which means the Viper convinced or coerced the World Tree into contributing material. The orb absorbs light and radiates an aura of concentrated malice.
