For the Sampo's more prosaic and mundane description (a magical quern) the present clan treasure of Perpetual Flour comes pretty close. As for more esoteric magic items in KODP... well some of the treasures (Wyrm's Footprint!??!) are boggling enough already. (Wyrms don't have feet!) Luverly. :)

there's a wedding, a murder, the blues
a serf bites the dust
the Sampo gets bust
