A rod of generalship was a rare enchanted rod that inspired soldiers.[1][2]

Description[]

The rod measured 2 feet (0.61 meters) long and was made from pure gold. It was decoratd with valuable stones such as diamonds, rubies, and pearls.[1][2]

Powers[]

When carried into battle and raised overhead by the wielder, the rod of generalship boosted friendly soldiers' combat skills within 600 feet (180 meters), making them more likely to successfully strike and harm enemies, while also making them more difficult to be hit themselves. The rod also boosted a soldier's morale.[1][2]

The rod could only be used once per day but its effects lasted for 30—120 minutes.[1][2]

History[]

Three of these rods were known to exist. They were favored by priests of Horus-Re, Anhur, and Assuran of the Three Thunders.[1][2]
