Mendicant Talisman

Weapon: Club, gold

Wooden walking staff with a gold sphere affixed to the top. Common among mendicants wandering the delta.

Unlike silver, gold's effectiveness as a ward is dependent on its purity, and thus weapons constructed of it are usually cudgels that can retain their shape better in purer alloys. This characteristic leads Dross pilgrims to abhor it on philosophical grounds.

Gold weapons are particularly effective against creatures native to the black rivers of the delta.
