View source for The bone wand

The bone wand is a small carved object that appears in City of Last Chances, its surface engraved with scenes of [[Lor|Loruthi]] hunting walrus. It enters the narrative as a piece of stolen property, taken from the shop of [[Blackmane]]. The text provides no account of who made it, where it originated, or what function, if any, it serves beyond its physical existence; its provenance is explicitly left unknown.

The wand's role in the book is limited to its brief appearance as a stolen item, and it does not recur or carry further narrative weight. Its significance within the series consists in its presence as a material object with a specific cultural decoration-the Loruthi walrus-hunting scenes-which marks it as a crafted piece tied to a northern maritime people, even though the story never explores that connection further.
