The Rotan Museum was opened in 2694, a few months after the Battle of Dragondale and the rebuilding of Rotan City. The museum is run by Inura the Short, a portly halfling. Her name reflects both her stature and her temper. The museum's exhibits include the following items: Behir’s head This is the stuffed head of the Behir slain by Damus, Tekuna, Joranth and Owen in 2705:3. Daggers of the Manticore Like the Manticorum blades, these twelve daggers were fashioned from the spines from the tail of the manticore felled in 2694:4. Each dagger has an identical design except for a small disk on the hilt. This disk has been left blank so that the owner of each dagger can insert his or her personal insignia. The daggers have been on display at the Rotan Museum since their completion a decade ago. Damalanthas has recently been considering presenting the daggers to the members of the Manticorum as gifts. Dragon Paintings Until recently, many of the Dragon Paintings were on show at the museum. Early on the morning of the Trollish invasion of Rotan, Inura discovered that most of them had been stolen. Only the empty painting and the black dragon painting remained. Dragonne's claw and tooth These are a claw and tooth from the dragonne felled by some of the Lords on the plains of Simipia toward the end of 2693. Griffon's claw and feather These ares a claw and feather from one of the griffons from the Dragondale Bluffs. The griffon was felled in 2693:10. Golden slippers This pair of golden slippers was found in Camanthalar's tower on 2693:10:15. Each one is made of spun gold. The pair is extremely valuable, worth 2,400 gp together or 1,000 gp individually. Jewelled dish This was Darkness’ gift to Damalanthas in 2694:4. It is a silver dish with small gems encrusted into the rim. It is worth 1,200 gp. Lords of Time The museum contains a copy of Damalanthas book, The Lords of Time. Phylactery of Long Years This phylactery looks like a colourful armband with scripture written all over it. It is one of seven treasures given out by the ruler of Proxima in 2694:9. In the original timeline experience
by the Lords, this device would supposedly give the gift of protracted
youth to anyone of Hicluin's faith. The physical ageing process would be
slowed by one-quarter for as long as the phylactery was worn. The item
could only be used by a priest of Hicluin, or one of Hicluin's faith. Since
the Lords’ return from their journey to the Timeless Isle, this item appears
to be non-magical.

flute for bardic music abilities.
Ring of Wizardry In 2693:2, after the Druids’ Conclave had been saved of destruction, Egreera bequeathed this ring to the city of Rotan. It originally had the power to grant three wishes. In 2694:1, following the Battle of Dragondale, Souriin used two wishes from the ring to rebuild Rotan. Later that same year (on 2694:7:9), and unbeknownst to his companions, Damalanthas teleported into the museum and used the remaining wish to save his own life. He framed Athalar in the process, and although Athalar’s innocence was later proven, the true culprit was never divined. In 2705:8, Lurik Mien -- head of
the Artaforian church in Rotan -- accused Damalanthas of vandalising the
ring. He claimed to have evidence to prove this. However, shortly thereafter,
Lurik was implicated in the kidnap of Wanwier and the issue of Damalanthas'
guilt was set aside.
