Rod of Pale Shades- Berath or Skaen?

[nouser]

the descryption of the "rod of pale shades" wand gives interpretations to it being made by both "the usher" form of berath or maybe skaen. is there a general consensus regarding if it belongs to berath or skaen?  i find it strange that a neutral or lawful neutral god like berath (who dislikes cruel dispositions)  would make such  item.  here its the descryption:

 

"At the beginning of Waidwen's Legacy, a cleric of Berath in New Heomar petitioned his god to end the Hollowborn curse. He knelt on the stone floor of his temple and prayed for five days straight, forsaking food, water, and sleep for the sake of his vigil. On the evening of the fifth day, he fell into an exhausted slumber and dreamt that the Pallid Knight told him to restore the cycle by returning the souls of the living to it. When he awoke, he found a large but plain candlestick from the temple altar lying next to his hand.

He fashioned the candlestick into a weapon, and he prowled the city, murdering the elderly and the infirm in Berath's name. As the death toll climbed into the dozens, a mob of the vengeful and bereaved formed to track him down. They caught up with the cleric outside his temple and turned his own weapon on him, bashing his skull apart in the streets. Several onlookers claimed to see an elderly dwarf, cloaked and impossibly emaciated, standing in the shadows and laughing".

i also think that its unlikely raedric was ressurected by berath as he seems to be against life extension and immortality. hence unlikely to support doom guards and fampyrs, who break the cycle of reincarnation.

The specific mention of an old dwarf treating it as a kind of sick joke is the MO of Berath's Usher form.  As the wiki says, "He creates the circumstances for the wayward to stumble into their own graves."  Skaen doesn't really have much of a sense of humor.
