Yes, they'd want the relic, but they want it because it's powerful.
Likewise, the seven knights decided to hide it because it's powerful.
My point was that the reason it was hidden from the royals and why it's coveted by the power-seeking today is what it can do. Not any religious significance it may have.
The whole argument about using the stick for good or evil is a huge can of worms. If you used it to save someone's life but that someone was the dictator of a genocidal regime, would that be good or evil? Personally, I'd love it if the stick could sense the evil in the souls of those who wanted to use it or those it was about to be used on, but I'm not holding my breath expecting that as a plot point.
