Spread-Eagle Headed Staff

Carved from dark, gnarled wood, the staff stands taller than a man and tapers to a thick, spread-eagle finial—a stylized bird of prey with enameled black eyes and talons gripping a circular medallion. Its surface bears a network of scratches along the shaft, likely from previous adjustments. The tip dips low as Garron leans on it while giving directions, its eagle motif glinting dully in the low light of the Relic Room’s oil lamps.

The weapon-like staff connects the act of illumination to ceremonial finality, a symbolic gesture signifying the transition from public order to guarded secrecy.

Before: Held by the Captain during routine lock-up.

After: Lowered as he exits, leaving the room in dim candlelight.
