Hrithspel

*"He has it?! That felon! I shall rend his guts outside of his belly and hang him upon them!'' ~ Mikhael Strand after discovering that Lord Iskaar was in posession of the spear*

**Hrithspel** or **Stormbringer** was the ancestral weapon of House Strand which was wielded by its' founder Rhamiel during the War of Secession. It has been passed down for about two thousand years among the scions of the house and in recent years has been sold by the current heir of the house- Mikhael Strand.

## Description and Properties

Hrithspel is a broad spearhead made of enchanted yellowish whalebone that measures about fourty centimeters in length and has three mysterious symbols engraved on either side. It can be mounted on any haft and serve as a somewhat large battle spear. It is known to be able to part the seas, manipulate weather and inflict griveous wounds according to legend and lore, and in reality has been seen doing at least one of those things.

## History

### Ancient History

It can be incurred that the founder of House Strand took the spear in battle from a Tetrarch or perhaps stole it and used it to win House Strand a name.

### Events before the campaign

As the Strands grew more and more opulent the true power of the spear was forgotten and it became a family relic, kept on display but never used. After the Droplets War Mikhael Strand had the spear taken off his hands alongside all his other belongings as he was very deep in debt.

### ''Induction", "Greenflow", "Siege of Hillgrove" and "Finding Edith" Arcs

Mikhael Strand often ranted about Hrithspel and Loneport during his travels with Senecius and Lithiel.

### "Unraveling Conspiracy" Arc

Mikhael Strand inquired after Hrithspel's whereabouts from a wandering trader and was made aware that it had been in the trader's possession but had been sold to a client that used a proxy.

### "Voyage to Ber Vokofri Arc"

Mikhael invoked the name of the spear when undertaking his part in the Blood Oath.

### "Man's End Arc"

It was discovered that Hrithspel had been bought by Lord Iskaar after the Brotherhood broke into his mansion. It was used to part a small body of water as a test of its' abilities. Later it was used to invoke a storm and to part the sea near Sacris and destroy the Imperial fleet by him, but was stolen by Mikhael and used to murder Senecius of Striecht after his betrayal of the Brotherhood.

### "Emilbell" Arc

The spear was still in The Cult of the Children of the Dawn's possession and it was theorized by Noerin and Gladys that it is instrumental in Lord Iskaar's plans and that it is currently held by Mikhael Strand.

### "Into the Night" Arc

The spear is confirmed to be in Mikhael Strand's possession when he is encountered by the Nameless Brotherhood during the Children of the Dawn Cult's raid on Harvest Keep.

### "Shores of the Void" Arc

The spear was found by Gladys to indeed be in Mikhael's possession as it was used by him in the grotto to repel the Brotherhood's attack on Bryaglee. It was carried by him deep into the fortress and into the Void itself, when he rejoined the Brotherhood and used against the demons and mirages of the plane and ultimately Lord Iskaar himself. After his death the spear was taken by Gladys and returned to Mikhael's sister Sofia.
