Kenaranek (artifact)
The legendary spear of Nari Daya, Kenaranek, or 'Blackthorn', is regarded to be one of the main symbols of authority for the rulers of Vehangun. Its blade, composed of an alien black metal, is attached to a shaft forged of pure reinforced bronze, making the weapon too heavy for anyone to wield without sufficient strength.
The spear also has an unusual property of turning impossibly heavy when not being held by a woman, an enchantment allegedly placed upon it by Nari Daya herself. Those who manage to use the weapon, however, report that the spear’s sharpness and strength are unmatched, and a single thrust is said to be able to pierce even the thickest castle walls.
