"After Azmodan’s death, I sent a squad of men to block the path to the crater. Only one of them returned, bearing this strange weapon. He was badly burned -- his armor had melted into his skin in places. He perished a few hours later. We threw the staff over the walls, hoping never to see it again." —Captain Haile of Bastion’s Keep
