Rod of Briars

Rod of Briars is a crafted enchanted item added in Total War: Warhammer II which can only be obtained by Dark Elves factions through the The Hermit dilemma triggered by a high loyalty lord.

It grants access to the rare The Dwellers Below bound spell which causes major explosion damage to combatants in a large area and applies the Dwellers Below contact effect that moderately debuffs enemy speed over a short period of time and in a short range from its caster.

In-game description
