The Flagstaff is nothing more than a metal quarterstaff which is commonly adorned with a flag. However unlike a normal flagpole it is actually meant for battle. It takes a bit more skill to use than the quarterstaff due to the drag inducing flag on one end, but using it in battle can be a beautiful dance as the colors flap away. It is a favorite of quarterstaff using commanders in great battles, where they bolster the troops while fighting. If you have access to Heroes of Battle, the Flagstaff is a valid target for Heraldic Crests, provided that the minimum requirements to possess one are met.
