The Baton of Sathel is a black pearl baton carved from the great black pearls found only under the waves of Cresting Spires. Crafted and enchanted by Sathel, at the time a Sentient Creationist, it was used in making and terraforming undersea environments.
When Sathel became a Cult Power (9350 GE), with millions of possessions, she claims to have lost the baton in the waters of Edhelviel. It was an infraction that if had proven false, would put her in violation of Section 15, Article 12 of the Rules of Divine Governance; generally speaking the abandoning of powerful artifacts for use by proxy at a future time, a very serious offense. CPD teams and later the Sâlo Tânê, charged with finding and securing such items, never found the Baton of Sathel.
After searching for decades, piecing together the clues, all while the Demon Spawn War (8972 GE - 9493 GE) raged, the famed Aldír Geleb found the Baton of Sathel. With it, they found Níngoth, then the entrance to the Sea Tunnel. The Aldír Geleb followed this eerie waterway to the coasts of Iizus Yeldah, where they built the undersea city of Merenwen (9392 GE).
In the Fifth Thane War (890 LE - 897 LE), the army of Merenwen used the Baton of Sathel against the city-state of Onai'gom, wiping it from the map; thereafter the baton became better known as Sathels Wrath.
It was as if the place never existed, a relic powerful beyond our imagination, and one used by Great Sathel carving mountains and valleys, shaping the sea to the needs of her creations, just as had so many other Creationists.
Petty mortals they were, draining a once great relic of nearly all its power, yet don't be fooled, Sathels Wrath is still a fitting weapon for near-godly champions.
- Albor Elphiroth, city historian of Merenwen - "Annihilation of Onai'gom"
Even though drained of much of its power, Sathels Wrath is a very potent weapon, a sentient +9 lighting blast trident of might cleaving.
