This Rod appears as an unassuming 2 foot rod of Adamantine. When a small button at one end of the shaft is pressed, the top end of the rod opens up, creating a series of magically lengthening chains with weapon heads, depending on the user’s wishes

Lore

As its name would suggest, this rod was created with a singular purpose in mind, to allow its wielder to summon a powerful flail to aid them in combat. Originally, this was constructed for a once powerful knight in the twilight of his career. He favored heavy weapons, but as his body weakened through old age and injury, he found he needed an edge. The king’s artificer constructed this powerful weapon so that the knight would always have a powerful tool in his duties, regardless of his declining strength. It was said this weapon allowed him to hold on to his position for another ten years before he finally retired. Upon his eventual death, the rod was lost, presumed stolen.
