The sceptre was left behind in Castle Britannia while Lord British was lost in the Underworld. Chuckles attempted to save the sceptre from Lord Blackthorn by giving it to a trusted knight to carry it to safety. Sadly, while in Trinsic, a Shadowlord stole the sceptre. The Shadowlords, fearing its power, stored it in their keep Stonegate. It was there, where the Avatar found it, guarded by deadly traps, the daemon Balinor, and even the Shadowlords themselves. Only with the sceptre was it possible to traverse Doom. It was not seen again in later games, but likely remained with Lord British.
