The Camp Staff

Technically they are a set, the camp staves. King Octo Torvanil had a habit of wandering off during great hunts and wanting his comforts wherever he went. The failure of his staff to be able to move grand pavilions, kitchens and bring his entire entourage to wherever he decided to camp within the hour posed a problem after the first few deaths. The court sage, Billick Norgbol, found designs related to extra-dimensional spaces and presented the seneschal and hunt master a series of staves designed to allow fast camp setup.
These server a couple functions, the primary of which is to create portals to a permanent palatial structure wherever the staff is planted. It is unknown at the present date how many staves were part of the set. Imitation sets have also been created. All staves of the original set that create portals all point to different entrances to the same extra-dimensional pocket universe. Each location is interconnected internally through mostly secret corridors that the servants would use.
