Originally from Oerth, the Iron Flask was discovered in Hazlan by Brother Dominic, who founded the Iron Sanctum monastery of the Guardians to keep the flask away from public eyes.
Powers
No powers of the flask are listed in the Champions entry; previous editions have stated that the flask contains legions of fiends that can be called forth to do the owner's bidding. Such a device in Ravenloft would be devastating. It begs the question as to why Hazlik has not seized the flask for himself. One suggestion on the RL list was that the Flask itself has a reality wrinkle, even though the fiends within do not. This would create a blind spot where Hazlik would be weakened, hence his trepidation to seize the flask.
Setting Controversy
Since the brief mention of this artifact in Champions of the Mists, Tuerny has returned to Oerth as a 17th level Wizard nalfeshnee. At the same time, Ravenloft has since expunged all mention of canon homeworlds for its inhabitants. Hence, the status of Tuerny's flask is up for debate. In the unlikely event of a canon update, it would have to be renamed.
