Mace of Cuthbert
The Mace of Cuthbert is a powerful artifact of the World of Greyhawk campaign setting for the Dungeons & Dragons fantasy roleplaying game. The mace is the property of the deity Saint Cuthbert.
Saint Cuthbert's mighty cudgel is one of the better-known legendary artifact weapons wielded by one of the deities of the Dungeons & Dragons core pantheon.
According to Dragon #100, for a time the mace may have been hidden on Earth, to keep it safe from evil forces. It was said to reside in London.[1]
