The Staff of the Everscamp is a Daedric staff adorned with metallic Scamps at its tip,[1] and inscribed with Daedric lettering spelling out the word "nonsense".[2] It a recurring artifact that is primarily associated with Sheogorath,[3] though there is evidence to suggest that Namira has a connection to it as well.[4] The staff was created in Darkfathom Cave's shrine, which is located in Cyrodiil's Blackwoods. Its purpose is to be a hindrance to those being unfortunate enough to wield it. It summons "Everscamps", which like the name suggests, are scamps whose presence are permanent, as they will immediately rematerialize post-mortem. Additionally, the staff will slow down the speed of a wielder. Finally, the staff will compel its user to not dispose of it, and can only be rid of by taking it back to the shrine in Darkfathom Cave.[5]
HistoryEdit
The Staff of the Everscamp was among one of the known artifacts associated with Sheogorath by 2E 582.[3]
Circa 3E 433, a mysterious spellsword was passing through Leyawiin, and heard a woman named Rosentia Gallenus' interest in buying curiosities. Despite Rosentia's suspicion at the staff being offered at a huge bargain, she decided to take it. The staff was inactive until she translated the inscription on the staff, and spoke the word at the same time as wielding it. What ensued was a smelly and annoying surprise, which prompted Rosentia to be confined to her house, afraid to let anyone see her unwanted daedric companions. Talk around the town stirred as people heard strange noises and smelled a foul odor radiating from her home. Hearing this rumor, an adventurer investigated the home and heard Rosentia's plight. The remorseful buyer instructed the hero to obtain information from her friend Alves Uvenim in the Mages Guild, and was told of Darkfathom Cave and the staff allowing itself to be given to another person. Rosentia handed her hero the staff, who made their way to the cave's shrine. There, the compulsion of keeping the staff was lifted, and the staff was able to be placed unto its altar, and the scamps were content to stay in their new home. In return for helping her dispose of the cursed Staff, she gave the artifact, the Ring of Eidolon's Edge, to the adventurer.[6]
