Spear

Exhortation

Legendary

The shaft has been carried in processions, borne aloft in war, and laid upon altars as a reliquary. Priests say it was raised first in the time of Charlemagne, lifted from the earth where a confessor’s blood had dried. Its use is both weapon and sermon, a reminder that faith may wound as well as console.

Hybernia

Epic

A spike of blue metal, hammered straight. It is too heavy for hunting, too plain for ceremony. The point catches the light oddly, as if wet.

Peasant's Burden

Epic

The poor man’s weapon - easy to make, simple to use, and deadly enough when it matters.

Partisan

Rare

In the last days of the End a peasant pulled iron from his yard and bound it with leather. It was not a soldier’s weapon, nor the work of a smith. He made it for the men who came with fire and rope. You can see the hurry in its making, and the anger too.
