...not anymore, she's not.

Intent: A staff to amplify and focus [member="Evelynn"]'s powers of beastmastery and animal friendship
Development Thread: No
Manufacturer: Akure Executive Leatherworks
Model: N/A
Affiliation: [member="Evelynn"]
Modularity: No
Production: Unique
Material: Alchemized brylark wood, nighthunter bone
Description: Evelynn's staff is a mix of lightsabre-resistant nighthunter bone, obtained through AEL's creature bounty contacts, and alchemically treated wood from the immensely durable brylark tree. It is not primarily a combat weapon due to its balance, but can shrug off most attacks given adequate skill on the part of its user.
As for what the staff actually does, it is an extrapolation from a standard Nightsister Totem of the Familiar. The soul of the non-sentient nighthunter is bound to the staff; it is aware of its master, and very fond of her. More powerful than a simple amulet, however, the staff is Evelynn's gateway into a familiar-type trust relationship with newly encountered living creatures, often several at once. Its sole purpose is to amplify her talent for animal friendship. Obviously this benefit is highly situational and variable.
The staff's creation was a personal request from the Queen of Rattatak (a Fringe member world) to the master alchemist Rave Merrill (a Fringe High Councilor). Its purpose was twofold: To maximize efficacy of specialized Fringe assets such as Evelynn, and to shore up loyalty and connections between Fringe members (important given the tendency of Rattatak's Queens to go off the reservation).
Classification: Staff
Size: Two-handed
