Description
In Isle of the Ape, the Crook is described as a crooked mace ("a mere toy, it seemed," according to Tenser), but in From the Ashes and Dragon #294, it is described as a crooked staff like a shepherd's crook. It is carved from hornwood, with jacinth, alexandrite, sard, topaz, and other precious stones embedded in it. Its shaft and headpiece are formed from cold iron and silver. It gives the impression of immense age.
