Background
The staff was born from Melora's breath during the Calamity. The names of the wielder, or wielders, during this time are unknown.

Kamaljiori, the androsphinx mate of Osysa, told Vox Machina the Spire of Conflux was devoured, along with its previous owner, by a goristro named Yenk. Yenk and the staff are now in the Endless Maze of the Abyss.

Scanlan used a Gate spell scroll to pull Yenk from the Abyss, using him as bait for Vorugal in the hopes that one of them would kill the other. The two giant creatures managed to do significant damage to each other. Vox Machina, with the aid of Lady Kima and Raishan, managed to finish them off. Once the battle ended, the Spire of Conflux was retrieved from Yenk's eviscerated belly and given to Keyleth.

When Keyleth jammed the Spire into a wound on Raishan's dead body, the black disease in Raishan's body suddenly accelerated, turned the entire body black, and withered the corpse to a husk.

Keyleth promised to return the Spire of Conflux to the followers of Melora at the The Abundant Terrace when she finds its power is no longer necessary.

Keyleth, still in possession of the Spire of Conflux, takes her place as Headmaster of the Air Ashari in Zephrah.
