Saar Spear

Bjarte was born in the Kubaarad tribe. The elders of the tribe told Bjarte the story of how the spear was passed down through generations.

A long time ago, the Kubaarad tribe was at war with the Akinat tribe over a land dispute. The Akinat tribe was winning as they had a bigger army.

The Kubaarad tribe had the rightful claim to the land, which is why a huge wolf came out of the ground in front of Okanul, the Kubaarad tribe’s leader and gave him a spear. The wolf said to use it justly. Okanul took hold of the spear and threw it at the Okanul’s tribe’s leader, Jarvim, killing him.

Once the Okanul tribe saw their leader die, they became disheartened and lost the battle after some of their fighters fled the battle.

Ever since then, the spear, called Saar (dangerous in Qunari) has been treasured by the tribe. Only the leader of the tribe is allowed to carry it into battle. Ever since Kubaarad had the spear, the tribe won evert battle.

Saar has special magical properties. It has special barbs all along the shaft of the spear. This means that when the spear pierces an opponent’s body, the sharp barbs open up. Hence it is important to use the spear wisely and justly as it deals great damage to internal organs and is almost impossible to remove without killing the opponent. The barbs hide back inside the spear once it is outside the body.
