Baculus

A scepter carried by Prolocutor Quetzal.

Definition

1.      A staff that symbolizes authority.

2.      A nasty wooden mace; a club with a large knot on the end. Because it was cheaply made or bought, it was used by medieval conscripted soldiers and was capable of taking out even armored adversaries. Basically, it is a carved version of a Dionysian thysrus.

3.      A bacillus is a small bone in the penises of certain large mammals, referencing the Dionysus’ orgasmic celebrations.

Word associations:

o        Similar to "bacchus" (the Roman name for Dionysus). The words differ in only two letters which look similar as well: "ul" for "ch".

baculus = bacchus

o        Rhymes with jaculus which is a name for jeraboa.
I have no idea how Quetzal or his baculus relates to Patera Jerboa, but here it is:

Baculus = jaculus = jerboa = Patera Jerboa

Commentary:

Quetzal’s baculus symbolizes his association with Dionysus in Wolfe’s demon-Olympiad.
