'''"A FOREBODING STAFF BEARING ENGRAVINGs OF HIVE RUNES AND BOUND WITH MYSTICAL CHARMS."'''
----
[[Zavala|Commander]],


"Speak to [[Rahool|me]] not of the [[Darkness]]—I want no part," I once cautioned an overeager Guardian who loitered near me in the Tower. I did not mean their command over [[Strand]] or [[Stasis]], but rather the deep, ancient corruption that empowers our enemies and corrodes our very souls. This force—this evil, if I may use such a simplistic term—surrounds us, and we must do all we can to limit our exposure, lest we find ourselves sinking below its dark waves.
A foreboding staff bearing engravings of Hive runes and bound with mystical charms.


And so it was with great hesitancy that I examined the unusual "Acolyte's Staff" created by [[Eris Morn]] and [[Immaru]], the renegade [[Ghost]]. I find their alliance baffling as she holds no love for the [[Hive]], and he is the foul creature who resurrected [[Savathûn, the Witch Queen|Savathûn]]. But even that is not as strange as the staff itself.
Commander,


In addition to being bound with charms and inscribed with powerful runes, the staff contains a small fragment of Hive [[Worm|worm]]. Due to a ghastly ritual and a metaphysical loophole in [[Sword Logic|sword logic]] philosophy, a Guardian wielding the staff is able to transfer the power of their defeated foes to Ms. Morn through a blood tithe.

Seeking answers, I sought Ms. Morn herself. I found her beyond a portal she erected in the [[H.E.L.M.]] She was waiting on an elaborate bone dais in a forgotten corner of [[Court of Savathûn|Savathûn's Throne World]] she called the [[Athenaeum]], as it allowed her to study the secrets of [[Savathûn's Spire]]. The seclusion of the locale was appealing, but when Ms. Morn began to "change," I fled, leaving my curiosity behind me.

There is power within the staff, Commander. Terrible power.
