Bone Flute

Created by a being of absolute spite and death, the Bone Flute was made from the first Man that walked the Earth. Murdered by magic and still containing an element of the divine spark that created the man, the flute has been in the possession of powerful undead since. Rumoured to have been passed through different death & undead cults for millennia around north eastern Africa & the western region of the Arabian Penninsula, the flute has never changed.   Said by some to have been made from Adam's skeleton after he was thrown out of Eden, none can say for sure. What is known, a vile spell book called the Grimoire of Twisted Flesh was used to record the tune to play on the flute to control othes, and sometime said to have other said tunes. Considering the Grimoire was also rumoured to have been created from the same source material has never been fully proven.   After countless millennia it seems to have resurfaced, this time in the hands of a group of called the Children of the Nazarene. How or where they got it is unclear. It will remain a mystery as the group was destroyed in Jerusalem by a band of holy warriors from Europe and the local Abassid Caliphate upon their discovery of the sect.   Around the same time, the warriors didn't realise as to what they had & sold it on to collectors in the region, and only by chance did a member of the Order of St. Boethia discover it. On a pilgrimage to Jerusalem he bought it and passed it to Rome for study. There it sat having been poked & proded by 'experts' who never seen such a thing, it was bundled up with possible trinkets for the Holy Roman Emperor of Frankia, Charlemagne. Stuck on a wagon to go as far as Aachem for further stydy and to see if it really is a magical bone flute or the bone flute of old Middle Eastern tales it wqas slowly making it's way north.   Unfortunately, it has hit a snag, a major snag indeed. Travelling north from Salzburg towards the trading / market town of Eshbach Saxons attacked stealing it after wiping out the wagon train.   If they work out what it is, then the Franks are possibly in for a hard time during the closing years of the ongoing Saxon Wars.
