Sashelas's Wrath

Sashelas's Wrath is built entirely of black pearl. It looks as if it was cut from one impossibly large black pearl. It was made far back into the God Era, willed into existence by the god Sashelas. He used it as focus of power for shaping the lands beneath the seas and oceans. When Sashelas and the others left the Prime to the mortals, he seems to have intentionally left the Baton of Sashelas on Bal-Kriav. Even though it could not be found magically, a reconnaissance unit of Aldír Geleb eventually stumbled upon it. It was taken to the general staff and with hesitation they agreed to make use of its knowledge. They used it to find sources of power like the Sea Tunnel, and determine areas of the realm that would be most habitable for them. The Baton of Sashelas guided them down the Sea Tunnel and then west to an area off the coasts of Iizus Yeldah where they founded the settlement of Merenwen.

In the Fifth Thane War, the army of Merenwen decided to use a relic left over from the time when Sashelas built worlds and led their ancestors into battle. This item is called the Baton of Sashelas, better known to those on the receiving end of it as Sashelas's Wrath. When they used it on Onai'gom, it totally destroyed the city and wiped out the population. No trace of the city was left:

It was as if the place never existed, a relic powerful beyond our imagination, and one used by Great Sashelas to carve mountains, valleys, and shape the land beneath the oceans.

Sadly, it was not met to be wielded by us petty mortals, for in using it against Onai'gom, we failed to understand that to power it required someone with the might of a God of Creation. The Baton of Sashelas used 99% of its own power to pull off what would be its last action of creation.

Even though it was drained of most of its powers, Sashelas's Wrath is a potent weapon for any mortal. The weapon is very dangerous to even get near in the water, continuously raiding a 10' sphere of electrical energy. Fortunately for anyone wielding it, they are immune to this Lighting Blast. When taken outside of the water, this effect functions like a normal Lighting Blast power.

Sashelas's Wrath is a +9 lighting blast trident of might cleaving.
