The Legend of the Spear - the Tale of Sir Fardir and the Spear of Shattered Sorrow

Around the third century TR, Sir Fardir Tenil was a famous Priest and Knight who guarded the newly consecrated temple at Gythrun, in the Kingdom of Melderyn. Around this time, Eastern Hârn was assaulted by waves of Agrikian missionaries, and Fardir was at the forefront of the defense. Wielding the enchanted silver spear Protector, a weapon which could both heal and slay, he won many over victories over Agrik’s forces.

With each combat, his love of battle grew; however, his mercy diminished. In Fardir’s final battle, the last Agrikan knight to face him shattered Protector with a mighty blow of his flaming mace. Fardir was able to slay this great warrior, driving Protector's blade through the warrior's throat. However, he was overcome by horror. The man looked so much like him; he could have been his brother. He realized that it profits a man nothing to defeat an enemy if he becomes that enemy.

Realizing that he had caused great suffering, he told his companions he had sinned and entrusting Protector’s shaft into their safekeeping. He carried the spearhead away in silence, and neither Fardir nor the spearhead was never seen again.
