Stumbleroot Spear

This is a placeholder page for content that PD are actively working on.

Description

The dark wood haft of this spear must be supple and flexible, while maintaining it's strength. An artisan carefully chooses the wood and treats it throughout the crafting process with ambergelt dissolved in pure alcohol, reinforcing the whole with green iron to maintain it's responsiveness in the hands of a skilled warrior. In combat, the spear twists and turns, seemingly under it's own power, and when properly guided will trip or unbalance an enemy, sending them sprawling.

Some stories claim that the more blood the stumblefoot spear spills, the more malicious it becomes. They suggest that the spear begins to take on a mind of it's own, seeking to trip or injure opponents without the intent of the wielder. They rarely speak of these worries unless deep in their cups. There is a tradition among some thorns of burning the spear after a year to ensure it does not turn on it's wielder. Some Imperial Orcs have adopted the same tradition, which meshes with their own beliefs about worth and the ways objects may be influenced by the uses they are put to.
