Curule Scepter

In the Red Rising Saga, the Curule Scepter first materializes in Morning Star as a twisted gold scepter embodying high-ranking military authority within the Gold hierarchy. Tipped with a screaming banshee head and marked by a crimson splash, the artifact is engraved with the deeds of noble families and their warriors, serving as both a literal and symbolic weapon of command. As the rebellion intensifies, it underscores the entrenched power structures that Darrow's forces must confront or seize, highlighting themes of legacy, conquest, and the brutal aesthetics of Gold dominance.
