Ruby Scepter

Description: One of the most ornate awards the Brotherhood bestows to its faithful, the Ruby Scepter is possessed of fearsome beauty. Struck from precious silver horded from the undersea “vault-spires” of Munnilinst, the scepter’s shaft is finely relieved with passages of ancient texts of the recipient’s choosing. At either end of the scepter is a firelight ruby from Antei’s own mines. It is the mark of a notable scholar among the membership. Though not a true weapon, as are many of the Brotherhood’s other awards, the scepter is of considerable weight and solidity. Its use as a bludgeon is not without precedent.

Awarded for: To see one possess the Ruby Scepter is to know that this member is one of the great mentors of the Brotherhood. Their work will have touched a wide range of others within the Dark Brotherhood as they will have contributed significantly in the areas of instruction, invention and mentorship.
