Hi again, I have a curiosity about the Deathstaff because in the Grand History of Realms , they are referred as multiple ones.
546 DR Year of the Rusted Sabre
The Halruaan wizard Gulkuluster begins creating a series of powerful wands
that bear his name and are known as Deathstaffs.
However in other entries it's referred to there being only one. It's considered a major artifact soo why the change? Also...would be other Deathstaffs indentical to the one we know about...or different?
What do you think? As usual thanks a lot in advance for your support.

| Maybe make a minor name change - have the lesser, multiple items called 'Deathstaves', and just have the singular, greater artifact be the Deathsaff. (so different things altogether). |

The original was a wand and is detailed in Ed's Wyrms of the North article in Dragon #246 (Malaeragoth). It was changed to an artifact and a staff in the Shining South accessory (3E). Markustay's suggestion is a good one. The artifact was Gulkuluster's original crafting while the others were crafted by his apprentices and descendants.

Explorer Markustay and Master Krashos,
So, to confirm, there is only one, but there were typo's on the timeline, and the idea given is a way to resolve that inconsistency?
Best regards,
