Anti-Dragon Lance
Creation
An incredibly brutal weapon made during the War of the Moon as a collaboration between the Pack of Ferventi and Soliairs' Cult. The Anti-Dragonlance works on a similar principle to the Dragontooth Spear and Spear Thrower, in being a projectile weapon shot at dragons to inhibit their ability to fly. Unlike dragontooth spears, the anti-dragon lance is able to be used against much larger dragonkin.Usage
It essentially is a massive harpoon or ballista bolt fired from artillery cannons at dragons, that just after contact with a dragon and before it can pass through the body, will open its ends and create a fishhook effect so it cannot be removed. Most often, these are fired at the wings of dragons to pin them together and force them to the ground. The lance fires from cannons at such high speeds and forces that when it penetrates even just the webbing of a dragon's wings, it can shatter bone from the impact forces. The housing can be filled with shrapnel to cause even more injury to its victims. Although this weapon has only existed for a short time, its use has already been condemned by many, even among the gods, for its cruelty.Mechanics & Inner Workings
The Anti-Dragon Lance is a massive piece of equipment similar in construction to a ballista bolt or a harpoon. They are launched from cannons and heavy artillery at incredible speeds, and at either end have a sensor and small computer chip that when the lance strikes something, will allow a split second delay before the tips open up, releasing bladed barbs between 5 and 6 feet wide, so that the lance will tear through flesh and cannot be easily removed without causing more damage. Once open, the lance cannot be closed without a key.
The housing for the barbs allows for it to be filled with shrapnel or poisons, ensuring they cause as much damage to a target as possible.
