These staffs all come from the workshop of Shago-Kahbo, a hermit who claims to have wandered the Anauroch desert for years at a time. He tells stories about "the coming of the dust," possibly referring to the fall of Netheril, but he is otherwise nonsensical. Trying to find meaning in his tales would be no less difficult than finding the supposed plane-shifting Blackforest he so often babbles about.
