MAGICK WAND
Crafted from Silver Birch

Slender, graceful trees with distinctive white bark, Birch is a deceptively hardy tree. The tree grows well in cold climates, poor soil, and its wood is incredibly strong. Sprouting new leaves early in spring, they are often associated with renewal. Birch has long been believed to protect the mind from negative influence. Additional magick properties include adaptability, inspiration, and fearlessness.
Chronicle of the:

Stands of Birch have drawn the interest of countless religious and spiritual beliefs for millennia. A particularly notorious group of exiles gathered in one such place, long ago lost to time, and to the sea. Little remains of their history, and what is known offers a dark glimpse of their dubious motivations. This wand is one of few artifacts recovered, restored with a new central ornament.
There have been several misconceptions regarding the provenance of this wand. First, it is most decidedly not a relic of the famed lost city of Atlantis. Common belief suggests Atlantis enjoyed a warm, almost tropical climate. Silver Birch grows more readily in cool, temperate locations. It is a pioneer of new terrain, and able to withstand harsh conditions. This is one reason Silver Birch contributes aspects of adaptability to magickal instruments crafted from it.
Poor record-keeping makes tracing the wand's history accurately. However, it is almost certainly the product of early peoples from the lost continent of Doggerland. The temperate land mass extended East from ancient England, and South to the European continent. The Mesolithic inhabitants of this land were victims of a great many natural disasters, even before their home was completely claimed by the sea. They would have been driven to extreme measures to survive, and to preserve their way of life.
The desperate struggle against sustained strife gives rise to the other significant misconception about the Outcast Legacy. These were not "dark wizards" creating malicious magick for the sake of committing evil acts. They campaigned against an existential threat. Under these circumstances, few practices were off limits in an attempt to ward off the inevitable.
While clear records do not exist, the most likely recovery scenario involves a fishing vessel in the North Sea. How it was recognized as something of value, rather than common detritus is unknown. Luckily, in its progress across the globe, one happened upon it capable of properly caring for the ancient relic. Decaying, and broken nearly in half, the wand was restored. A glittering red and black ornament was used to graft the broken pieces into a renovated instrument of magic. It may not be a faithful recreation of the original, though the upgrades create a magnificent tribute to the wand's legacy.
