The Wailing Mace was mentioned in the book "On Goblyn Fashionne", part of a series of journals describing anthropologist Acks Nynsay's stay with a goblin tribe. For over five years Acks stayed with the tribe and took part in their daily life and their raids; she learned their language and observed their mating rituals. The Wailing Mace is mentioned briefly as Acks describes the goblin chieftain prior to a raid:
"The goblyn chief was dress'd inn combatt garb, with the usual warrior painting of the face that is commonn inn these tribes. Behind her stoode her slave-husbandes, four inn all (as these tribes preferres the number four). Withe a screame so as to heighten our fighting spirits the chief raised her flail -a weaponne she said screamed inn her mynde- and led the charge toward the merchante camp atop her dire wolve. The battle was short, and I killed two guards myself, earninng a place at the chief's table at the feast afterwardds."
Nynsay was hanged when she returned to civilization, but her journals became widely popular as a sort of post-modern take on adventuring.
