In the middle of a swamp, in Überwald, lies Dave, the Most Horrid and Foul Necromancer, whose classy looking gear would be the dream of every wizard (specially Midnighters or Shadows) if ir weren't for its tremendous weight, which makes it totally unpractical, bearing in mind the usual strength that wizards count on.
Nevertheless, as stated, his equipment is quite impressive. It consists of 5 magical pieces, or talismans: staff, boots, greaves, helmet and (gasp!) corslet.
look staff
This dark, black staff has been fashioned out of iron and has been heated until the surface is pitted and cracked. A large human skull with ram's horns has been fixed to its top as some sort of grisly knob. Along its length silvery runes race along its surface in a pattern undiscernible to the eye.
Octarine light pulses around it like an evil heartbeat.
It is in excellent condition.
look boots
This is a pair of sleek black leather boots that reach to knee height. They are laced in the front and are made of very thick leather. Along the front of them are a few plates of bone which appear fang-like in nature. Several silvery runes seem to flutter along the length of the bone.
Octarine light pulses around it like an evil heartbeat.
It has the hazy octarine sparkle of a magical talisman.
It is in excellent condition.
look greaves
This pair of greaves could only have been made by magic. They are constructed from bone and have series of serrated ridges that run along their length. The bone itself seems to flow around the wearer as if it is growing from their own flesh. Several runes seem to be moving along the greaves like living quicksilver.

l helmet
This is a helmet that has been crafted by magic out of bone. It is a solid construction of bone that has a series of fang-like protrusions running in ridges up to the top. A iron band made to look almost like a crown wraps around the brow and ends underneath a pair of black ram's horns that curl down along the sides of the head. Runes flow along the length of the helmet and look as if they were made of quicksilver.

l corslet
This is a ornate construction that could only have been made by magic. The armour is made out of a solid piece of worn ivory bone which wraps around its wearer to protect them fully. Interlocking bone plates flow down the arms and end in ornate gauntlets with a series of small fang-like spikes radiating upwards to the forearm. Many bone plates hang from the main breastplate and backplate forming tassets to protect the waist and thighs. The breast and back are both fully covered in a solid sheet of dark ivory bone. Spikes of various shape and size flow down the shoulders and the back like a porcupine. The spikes also flow down the front of the armour where they circle a dark black gem. A gorget reminiscent of a shoulder blade wraps rather uncomfortably around the neck and connects to the shoulder coverings. All along the thick ivory silvery runes seem to move up and down its length like living quicksilver.

For practical reasons, the only thing of use might really be the staff, at least in a remote future when some of the incoveniences of these (like the fact that staff harnesses occupy a dexterity malus slot when worn with backpacks) are removed or (ha, ha!) the fabled staves with knobs reappear. It is a powerful polearm weapon, damn heavy and extremely cool for octograving. Nevertheless, the only use I can gather for it now (and for the rest of the gear) is as a showy outfit for one of the feasts/balls/parties that take place in the City...
