History
The most famous wand of trap detection once belonged to a half-elven wizard-rogue Illep the Watchful from Myth Drannor. He used the wand in his numerous burglaries to see snares and deadly springblades. Illep's illicit career was cut short by an unruly warrior Brammel who was offended by the half-elf's dandified appearance. In ensued tavern brawl, Illep died of an axe wound. Brammel was arrested, and the foppish thieve's belongings, with the wand of trap detection, were sent to his relatives in Myth Drannor. Bandits attacked the caravan that was transporting Illep's belongings, and the wand became lost to history.

The wand resurfaced again in 1281 DR, just outside Kuldahar in Icewind Dale, at a ruined mill in the Kuldahar Pass, ransacked by marauding goblins.
