Staff of the Ruling Beast
1d4B(1d8 two-handed)·Simple·Club·One or two-handed
The Staff of the Ruling Beast appears as though it's made of myriad organic materials crudely woven together, from sinew and hide to bone and scales. The staff serves as a ceremonial sign of Iapholi's authority, and on rare occasions, she loans it to favored allies to speak in her name. Even then, she expects the staff will be returned at the task's conclusion, sending ferocious bounty hunters to retrieve it, if necessary.
