The branch of vile curses was an enchanted quarterstaff of crude make, used by Srass Marnanr and his lizardfolk marauders and mercenaries in Cormyr in the late 15th century DR.[1][note 1]

Warmbloods are only good for two things. I'll let you guess what those are.
— Srass Marnanr, Lizardfolk Mercenary[1]

Powers[]

The stave possessed powerful +4 or +5 enchantments that made the weapons more deadly and guided the wielder's arms towards the target. The branches of vile curses greatly boosted the wielder's spell power and empowered negative energy and necromancy spells even further, and, upon a critical strike, bestowed a wilting curse on the target.[1]

History[]

In the late 15th century DR, a branch of vile curses was wielded by Srass Marnanr, who led Rynarr Nosryrr and a gang of lizardfolk to attack a prison convoy that transported captured Sharran cultist Dedryk Black to the Wheloon Prison.[1]

Notes[]

  1. Menace of the Underdark (including Web of Chaos) is dated to the period of 14841485 DR, as it references the ongoing Darkening. Shadowfell Conspiracy (including Disciples of Shadow, Shadow Under Thunderholme, The Druid's Deep, and The High Road of Shadows) are dated to the same period, as they are stated to take place at roughly the same time as Menace of the Underdark.
