Lance

The Lance was a low spear used in cavalry charges. It was rarely seen on Rokugani battlefields, used almost exclusively by the Unicorn and Ox Clans. Proper use of a lance required a horse with a stirrup saddle. The user tucked the lance under a shoulder, stood up in the saddle, and relied on the velocity imparted by his charging steed to drive the point deep into his opponent. Many lances shattered upon impact. Legend of the Five Rings; Third Edition, p. 175
