A jewelled morningstar, glowing brightly with the light of the dawn. It illuminates the dungeon's recesses, revealing the machinations of those who would prefer to stay invisible. “But soon as early Dawn appeared, the rosy-fingered, then gathered the folk about the pyre of glorious Hector.” -Homer, _The Iliad_, XXIV, 776. trans. A. T. Murray, 1857.

Desirability

Eos has a decent base type, an excellent enchantment level, increased accuracy due to the halo, and a powerful brand. It's a viable weapon, even into Zot.

The halo boosts the accuracy of all your attacks, even magic. It also prevents anything from staying invisible and reduces your stealth.

Tips & Tricks

• This weapon can be unwielded so that you can go invisible and get rid of the stealth penalty. Weaker characters may want to unwield this item when entering a new level or exploring, and reequip it when fighting.
