Lance of Stars

The **Lance of Stars** is a weapon of legend and great power. It is an enchanted lance that was wielded by the hero St. Azgabel Tempus. The lance was obtained by Fenris who found the weapon and felt compelled to give it to Ezara. Fenris told Ezara that the Lance chooses its wielder. It has since become Ezara's primary weapon.

During the beginning of Season 5, Soren's book revealed the lance's origins and turned it into an enhanced form; the **Lance of Stars +2**/

## Base Description

The Lance of Stars is constructed from a strong, rough, dark metal that is surprisingly light. The metal of the lance is overlaid with a swirling nebula-like cloud effect. Small motes of starlight drift from its surface. The sturdy weapon has a wooden handle, but an hourglass like bevel allows the wielder to fight while dismounted, functioning as a two-handed melee weapon. A flanged guard with gem patterns inlaid in a constellation protects the hand holding the lance. The dark iron is strangely warm to the touch.

## Legendary Lore

No one is certain where the legendary Lance of Stars originated from, but some stories suggest the weapon was forged in the crucible of a star's heart. The Earliest recording of the Lance places it in the hands of the first Higardi Yormoth Emperor, Arthur. He wielded the lance in his war for independence against the Alfenheim Empire, earning freedom for his people. The Lance of Stars remained with the Yormoth family until the Golden Age of Man ended, when the dread lords blotted out the sun for 100 years and ended the Yormoth Empire. The Lance was thought lost or destroyed. Some retellings of the Battle of New Morn claim that the dead prince Damien led the charge for the Ghost Knights of Yormoth with the Lance of Stars. It is rumored that the Lance was used in the charge to impale the demon sovereign Demos.

Damien and the Ghost Knights are nothing more than legend, however, and the Lance remained lost until 1782, when Saint Azgabel Tempus arrived in the Shiverdelve region, wielding the Lance of Stars against Gorgoth, the Wolf of Eden. It was the Lance of Stars that ultimately put an end to the Wolf Priest's reign of terror. The Lance of Stars remained with St. Azgabel until shortly before his death. The stories say that Saint Azgabel offered the lance to the Vault of the Night Sky, returning it to stars where it was forged. Other say that the Lance appears whenever it is needed to defend the people of Higard from tyranny, in the hands of its chosen wielder.

As of Shiverdelve Arc of Season 1, the Lance belongs to Ezara Solaris, Cleric of the Astral Star. The Lance has remained in Ezara's possession throughout the course of *WovenRealm* since receiving it from Vercingetorix.

In Season 5, the Emerald Caravan finally learned the Lance's true origin through an interaction with Soren's storybook. The party was shown the creation of everything, and as the sensory story was ending, the Lance of Stars lay amongst the shattered remains of the Astral Star, revealing that the Lance of Stars is a piece of the Astral Star itself.
