Mace of fury (connection with maze of fury)
Bozo’s mace of fury dialogue has been added most probably after the implementation of the premium area on Rookgaard and the maze of fury (version 7.11b, 2003.09.03), which ties mace and maze together. The earliest archived mention of the mace of fury dates back to 2003.09.21, but most of the players at the time did not know anything about it except it's name and assumed it's an unobtainable.
Mace of fury is a regular rolling pin, Bozo sells it for 250 gold coins.
Boogey (mainland boss) has been implemented on 2009.07.01 (8.5), with a new item “club of the fury” (looks like a rolling pin), which is a reference to Bozo’s mace of fury.
Bozo and god Kirok (possible connection to sword of fury)
God Kirok is a patron of scientists and researchers. He has been created in a failed attempt to separate conjoined god Uman and Zathroth. Kirok is a favourite of jesters - Bozo is a jester. Also, in this theory, god Uman (the good) might be a reference to humbleness and god Zathroth (the evil) might refer to fury. Perhaps this is a nod from Knightmare to the researchers of the sword of fury. V.i Part 1: The Age of Chaos
