Thorin was never really good at riddles or guessing games. Back in his adventuring days he struggled with such tasks and lost a lot of things because of it. From a few coin at a bar due to a bet to a close friend's life to a Sphinx in an ancient tomb.

He, knowing her very well, came to the conclusion he was cursed by his god as a practical joke. So, he set out to make a device to help him in his quests, a device that could answer any question ever.

Upon completing his ten-year quest he had done all that was required, including making a pact with Shemeshka the Marauder, known to many as the greatest of all Arcanaloths.

Together they both binded her essence into the staff, so that when a question was asked, she would be able to provide an answer wherever she was.
