Black Staff

The black staves, or "black rods," are weapons created by the inhabitants of the ancient city of Kotl in the valley of Eodon. They are totally useless against most other forms of life, but terrifyingly efficient against Myrmidex, which they were originally constructed to defeat. However, even these weapons couldn't save the ancient Kotl from their own creations in the end.

The Avatar found these weapons in the abandoned city of Kotl in Savage Empire and used them later to great effect in the Myrmidex Caves, to easily fight the way to the Myrmidex Queen.
