The Baton of Sathel is a sleek, ebony baton carved from the magnificent black pearls that can only be found beneath the waves of the Cresting Spires. Crafted and imbued with magic by Sathel, who was a Sentient Creationist at the time, it was employed in the creation and terraforming of underwater environments.
When Sathel became a Cult Power in 250 GE, with millions of followers, she claimed to have lost the baton in the waters of Edhelviel. This would have been a violation of Section 15, Article 12 of the Rules of Divine Governance, which prohibits the abandoning of powerful artifacts for future use by proxy - a serious offense. The Civilization Planning Division (CPD) teams and later the Sâlo Tânê, tasked with finding and securing such items, never located the Baton of Sathel.
After searching for decades and piecing together the clues, amidst the raging Demon Spawn War ( 89 GE - 269 GE ) , the renowned Aldír Geleb finally discovered the Baton of Sathel. With this artifact, they uncovered the location of Níngoth, and the entrance to the enigmatic Sea Tunnel. The Aldír Geleb then traversed this eerie waterway, eventually reaching the coasts of Iizus Yeldah, where they established the undersea city of Merenwen.
In the Fifth Thane War ( 890 LE - 897 LE ) , the army of Merenwen employed the Baton of Sathel against the city-state of Onai'gom, eradicating it from existence; subsequently, the baton became more widely recognized as Sathel's Wrath .
Even though diminished in power, Sathel's Wrath remains a formidable weapon, a sentient +9 lightning blast trident of mighty cleaving.
