570E

Realising that [[Dispater]] would be even stronger on his own plane, [[Lastar]] builds another powerful artefact to help him defeat the Devil. The [[Sarnim Stone]] was a gem that [[Unglak]]’s father had discovered at the beginning of time. Using the [[Crowns]] and the [[Rings]], and with the aid of [[Orodruin]]’s folk and his God, Anubis, [[Lastar]] gives the [[Sarnim Stone]] many magical powers. The Gem was born!!! To bear the Stone, [[Lastar]] makes a great staff in mockery of the Wand of Orcus. [[Lastar]] and [[Bavarik]] travel to the Abyss using the Pentogram at [[Zundar]]. [[Lastar]] uses all his combined powers, including the [[Rings]], Staff and [[Sarnim Stone]] and the Wand of Orcus to kill [[Dispater]]. [[Bavarik]] returns to the Prime and tells of [[Lastar]]’s glory. [[Lastar]] knows he cannot take artefacts with him to Anubis’ Divine House so, with the Wand of Orcus, he shatters the [[Sarnim Stone]], breaks the Staff, separates the [[Crowns]] and scatters the [[Rings]].(1st Age History)

Lastar's staff is now broken into 3 parts: Staff, pommel and claw.  The claw is designed to contain the power of the Stone and is useable as a standalone item.  The Staff itself cannot be fully reforged unless all 3 parts are together.
