The opposite of a morningstar.

This weapon falls into the 'Maces & Flails' category. It is a one handed weapon, and it is better for the strong.

Not only is an eveningstar the opposite of a morningstar, it's also a superior weapon. They are on par with demon whips/sacred scourges in terms of one-handed M&F weapons; although their attack speed is slower, their higher base damage makes them better suited to taking out heavily armoured opponents. Unfortunately, they are quite rare, and one will often find a demon whip long before finding an eveningstar. They have the highest base damage of any one-handed weapon in the game.
