The Rod of Ryktuss

Legends claim this to be the personal scepter of the Lord of the Dead, Ryktuss, however there is no actual evidence to support this. In fact, it's uncertain that this rod even exists.
It is described as a cold iron rod, with a barbed spike at one end, and a skull at the other. It is said the skull is that of a demon or devil, perhaps a pit fiend.
Attributed to it is the power to raise and control the dead, and the ability to turn sentient beings into mindless, living zombies, in servitude to the rod's possessor. But of course, like everything else about the rod, this is just myth and conjecture.
It is rumored to have been sighted in the South, and may have even fallen into the hands of The Boorka. This item is heavily coveted by the Lentokki, who seek it for their lord, Krytuss (brother of Ryktuss).
