This spear is a living weapon. It was crafted long ago from the bole of the glorious birch tree that grew in Isha’s heavenly garden, and bound with enchantments to nurture and renew its flesh. The Spear of Kurnous is irrevocably bound to its master, and always returns to Orion’s hand should he cast it at a foe, which he does often. The King in the Woods holds that a true hunter can bring down any prey with a spear as easily as a bow, and ever seeks to prove the merit of his words. When Orion takes on the aspect of Kurnous and goes forth to battle, he takes up the Spear of Kurnous from its secret shrine within the Oak of Ages. It is a powerful weapon of immense proportions. This spear is so huge that no ordinary Elf could wield it. Only Orion with the strength and stature of Kurnous can use it. Of course, the Spear of Kurnous’ colossal size gives him a substantial advantage over other preyseekers – when driven by his peerless might, it can disembowel a deepwood auroch as easily as it can a man.
