The Splinter of Destiny also shares some similarity with the christian Spear of Destiny. Of course Grimm won't go the christian way.
Found some interesting history concerning the stick. Since the writers will tie in the Nazi connection to the stick. This might give us more insight on what to exepect too.
THE "SPEAR OF DESTINY"
THE MYSTERIOUS ANCIENT SPEARHEAD
Everyone knows that Jesus was pierced in the side with
a Spear of some sort. It is usually assumed that it was
just an ordinary Roman soldier's spear that just happened
to be available at the time. Later, it passes into many
hands, arriving--supposedly--into Hitler's possession at
the start of the Second World War. Near the end of that
war, the story goes, General Patton discovers the Spear in
a bunker under Nuremberg, realizes what it is, and at that
very moment, Hitler commits suicide and the U.S. succeeds
Germany as the new World Power...because it now holds the
Spear.
Well, not so fast... That Spear--seen above--has been
kept in Vienna, Austria, where Hitler obtained it back in
1938, since shortly after the War. Is Austria now a World
Power? It used to be--before the First World War, but no
longer. But, of course, some people insist that Austria's
Hapsburg family secretly runs the world from behind their
gilded walls in Vienna.
Maybe. But not very effectively. The fact is, this may
not be the true Spear. It could be one of several copies
made at various times throughout the centuries. The real
Spear--if the legend of it always being in the possession
of the current ruling World Power were true--ought to be
in the United States, for the U.S. has emerged as the very
greatest World Power in modern history. And what about
Judea? The Spear was in Jerusalem for centuries and it
does not appear to have made the Jewish people dominant
in the ancient world. In fact, they were overrun by just
about every one of their neighbors. Come to think of it,
Nazi Germany was also conquered when it had the Spear. So
was Austria in 1938 and again when the Spear was returned
after the war. It may be that having this Spear is a way
to get your nation conquered by its neighbors...
So is it possible the Spear has a different function
than this notion of designating the current World Power?
I haven't seen the promo yet but it's not an ordinary cloth either. It could be a prophecy for all we know. That being said, let me watch the promo.

So the stick makes everyone that it touched gives them their destiny, Monroe was not meant to die, Eve was not meant to be a hexenbiest as we know her to be ..what does it make Nick?
That makes sense. My view is Nick will transform into something else. The date on the cloth is that date. We will not learn about what in my view until second half of the season.
Generally the final fate of a Grimm is death. You can only live so long with their kind of life. Kelly did say something about that back then. Either you die or your loved ones die first.
Why should 800 year cloth know Nick's death ahead of time? The date is near future date based on promo.
