Calcadyia's Crystal Lance¶
"A titan-forged adamantine spear capable of mortally wounding powerful creatures, especially ethereal elemental ones." — Outline - Pt3 (S010)
Calcadyia's Crystal Lance is a spear forged by Khardas for the Einar warrior Calcadyia during the Second Primordial War. It strips the defences of beings born of the elements, and in the Fifth Age it was in the hands of the elemental cult that meant to use it against the Frost Archon Uiren.
Nature¶
The Lance is "a titan-forged adamantine spear capable of mortally wounding powerful creatures, especially ethereal elemental ones by reducing its armor, immunities and resistances" (S010). It must be charged before use, and the kind of energy it holds depends on how it is charged; a strike spends that energy on the target's armour alone, and once the armour is gone the target is left open to that kind of energy for a time. "This ability seems to only affect those of elemental origins: Fae creatures, Dragons, Titans, etc." (S010).
In the Rift¶
In the Fifth Age the Lance was held by the Primal Union of Ter'Gaia, the elemental cult of Guhvils, Humans, Uk'Zarai and Kobolds encamped on the prison of the fire Primordial Ambusthene at the Tethers of Ambusthene in the Rift (S010). The cult meant to free Ambusthene, and for that needed a Frost Archon's heart to douse the flame wards about her prison. "They plan on capturing the Boreal Elves Patron: Uiren. To do this they have acquired an artifact, Calcadyia's Crystal Lance ... and an Elemental Focus (to force him out)" (S010). The patron of the Boreal Elves is Uiren.
The campaign's last outline keeps the Lance at the centre of the cult's plans: its warlord Drotvull might risk "a foray into the temple for the Lance", and the cult's leader Rhivzom waits at the Cave of Uiren "to connect with the other forces before assaulting Uiren", with instructions for the cult to meet him "with the Lance" (S011). What the party did is told in the chronicle Into the Rift.
Gap
No source describes the Lance's appearance beyond "crystal" and "adamantine", tells Calcadyia's story, says how the cult acquired it, or records where it ended up after the mini-campaign.
