Most Arruquettans are dangerous with a spear. But those few warriors who actually bear the title “spearwielder” are among the deadliest warriors in all of Omeria. The spearwielders are humanoids enhanced by prolonged exposure to emerald odonburgite, specifically the large gem that lies at the bottom of the Pool of Goerrell. There are currently twenty spearwielders operating under the banner of the Spear of Weysevain. The greatest of their ilk is the masked assassin, the X, the so-called “Spear Arm” of Queen Daria Emagavel.
