The black staves, or black rods, are weapons created by the inhabitants of the ancient city of Kotl in the valley of Eodon. They appear in Savage Empire.
Description[edit]
About the equivalent of a lit torch on other life forms in terms of damage, they are terrifyingly efficient against Myrmidex, which they were originally constructed to defeat. The end of the staff glows brightly to alert its wielder when Myrmidex are near – the staff need not be equipped to observe this effect. However, even these weapons couldn't save the ancient Kotl from their own creations in the end, forcing them to abandon their city.
The Avatar found these weapons strewn throughout the abandoned city of Kotl and used them later to great effect in the Myrmidex Caves, to easily fight the way to the Myrmidex Queen.

These are weapons, long, glossy-black rods with faint blue lights on the end. They can be used as war-staves — just hit someone with one. But they're principally weapons against the Myrmidex, and you can attack Myrmidex at range with them, as though the black rods were guns. They discharge energy which is guaranteed to ruin a Myrmidex's whole day.

- Five of those staves can be found inside Kotl. One on the bare earth at the dead end of the western passage, one on a dead warrior at the western wall of the central plaza a bit south of the passage to the west, two inside the central building of the southern human district and one in the room behind the force field in the northern district.
