(New Magic Item) Rod of Lonnaiocht Nua

800 years ago as Men reckon time, an expeditionary force was set Eastward from the Elf kingdom of Tal-Ornafel to establish a new trade road with the Dwarfs of Korim and the ones under the Dragonspine Mountains.  As a mark of rulership, the elf Queen Glorandal granted to her new Duke, the Esteemed Galanthar Orilian a sceptre of fine platinum with sapphire inlays.  By itself it was worth a fortune but it was also enchanted to slay the lizard-men the Elfs expected to displace, as well as aid in the casting of magical spells.

Galanthar sired 30 boy children in his time in the east, a great many for anyone including an Elf. Many squabbled among themselves and some openly warred against one another. Just which of his sons ended up with the Rod is anyone's guess.

Game Stats

Morningstar +1, +3 versus Reptile-types. 1d6 base damage.  (Gains +3 to hit Reptile-types if your weapons do not normally do so.)  May be used by any class besides Magic-Users.

Purpose: to expand Elf lands ever Eastward.

Special Ability: Spell Retention.  Once per day, one person who holds the Rod may recall one spell of any level they had memorized and cast.  The caster must possess and hold the Rod at the time of first casting and must possess and hold forth the Rod at the time of the second casting.  This ability does not work for spells cast from a device or from a scroll, nor for spell-like abilities either natural or from devices or potions.

Reptile-types include Lizard Men and Yuan-Ti among some others. You may decide to alter or add to this list.

In addition to being a powerful weapon in its own right, it is an unmistakable symbol of leadership among Elfkind.
