Developed by the settlers of the borderlands in their ceaseless fight against the local goblin bands. The Goblinbane Battlestaff allows large sweep attacks and precise trip and capture maneuvers with its hook. It is said that two or three militia members, when back-to-back, can fend off an entire goblin band with their battlestaves.

"Make sure you keep your hooks well oiled lads. Cause there's nothing worse than being in a fight and getting a goblin stuck on your hook. Buggers are devilishly hard to shake off."
Willem Thatcher, Militia Veteran
