Carrion Verdant Spear of Energy

Carrion Verdant Spear of Energy sits on the market stall, its head a sickly emerald prism that hums with a quiet current. The shaft is carved from dark, weathered wood, etched with sigils that glow faintly when the air grows damp; a rind of knotted leather wraps tight around the grip, and a fringe of moss clings to the base as if the spear itself were still breathing. The blade-like tip carries a sheen like wet jade, a texture that bites at the finger if you touch it— not sharp with ordinary steel, but edged with a necromantic sheen that seems to pull warmth from your skin and send it humming down your arm. It is the kind of weapon that looks as if it once promised decay as much as power, a paradox in green glass. The carrion green luster isn’t simply ornament; it’s a memory of the plague-worn zones where the Verdant and the Carrion tangle their fates. Legends say the spear was tempered at the night-bloom of a plague-damned grove, where life and rot fought for exception. When a wielder draws it, the green glow blooms along the sigils like a living map, guiding energy that’s half static, half breath. In the lore, the weapon is less a tool of conquest than a conduit—an artifact that exhales life into a world that thrives on slow, patient decay. In hands, it becomes a study in timing. The Carrion Verdant Spear of Energy channels a pulse of vitality into every strike, a green streak that slices through armor and spirits alike. A quick jab releases a spray of emerald motes that siphon a fraction of the foe’s vitality, feeding the wielder a brief reservoir of energy. When the moment is right, the spear unleashes a broader arc, the green light tearing across the battlefield in a curl of energy that buffs allies with standing resilience and drains strength from the weakened—an exchange that fits a story about factions testing loyalties in a city where plague banners flutter at dusk. For necromancers, it’s a symbiosis: the energy stored in the weapon can empower minions, fusing life force with borrowed power to keep a tether to the living world even as they drift toward the borders of shadow. Even the price of such a relic has its own tale. Traders whisper about its rarity, the way it eludes the common market and surfaces only when the right risk is taken. I heard a dealer speak of Saddlebag Exchange, not as a shop window but as a crossroads where a rumor can become a bargaining chip. A buyer was offered it for a price that included a shared risk and a promise to move it through the back channels, a reminder that artifacts like this carry more than metal—they carry stories, alliances, and the fragile thread of balance between life’s sap and death’s quiet energy. If you listen closely, the spear’s hum reveals its role isn’t finished, traveling with wanderers.
