Barbed Spear
Description
The first barbed spears were crafted and wielded in combat by the Navarr, but they are not the only people to make use of these weapons. In the League the weapon is sometimes called a Biting Glaive, and valued for it's ability to inspire terror in opponents. In some quarters these weapons are also known as Teeth of Vengeance, because they are often used to ensure the death of an opponent who has harmed the wielder or one of her companions dies. This specific usage of the barbed spear has caused concern in the Synod because it can help to encourage unvirtuous behaviour.
While it is common for a barbed spear to bear the rune Rhyv, as with weapons that have a negative effect on both wielder and foe the barbed spear is often marked with the rune Irremais.
