The Xothaerin Scepter is one of ten Ruling Scepters of Shanatar, forged by the dwarven gods and given to the ruling houses of the ancient dwarven empire. The Ruling Scepters are all roughly the same size and shape, but their materials and properties vary. The scepter was retrieved from the ancient city of Lost Xothaerin, recently rediscovered by a band of adventurers. It is said that Sharindlar, patron goddess of the city, cursed the ruling family of Clan Azerkin, transforming them into monsters and damning the city to horror and ruin. What heinous act could have stirred such wrath from The Lady of Life and Mercy remains a mystery.

The Xothaerin Scepter is an adamantite rod as thick and long as a dwarf’s forearm, which tapers to a ruby-capped point at the bottom and a oval ring adorned with nine tiny red gems at the top.

You gain a +3 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with this scepter, which can be wielded as a magic club.

You can use the properties of the Wyrmskull Throne, as well as the properties of the scepter itself. The scepter has 10 charges, and it regains 1d6 + 4 expended charges at dawn. Its properties are as follows:

• The scepter can act as an Immovable Rod. Two of the adorning gems act as the required buttons.
• As an action, you can expend 2 charges to cast the sending spell from the scepter.
• As an action, you can expend 3 charges to cast the teleport spell from the scepter. If the destination is within 60 feet of the Wyrmskull Throne, there is no chance of a teleport error or mishap occurring.
