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
