Powers

History
Long before the Era of Upheaval, Maelstor Rex sought out the devil Vesarius with the aim to learn new magical spells and better understand magic. Impressed by his intellect, Vesarius imparted the desired knowledge to the dragon, in the exchange for one of its horns.

Many years went by and the two beings had no interaction with one another, until shortly before the. Vesarius used Maelstor Rex' horn to create the dragonspear and used to to take control of the dragon's will. Vesarius' superior within the devilish army, Baazka, realized the importance of the dragon fighting alongside their forces and hid the spear away, in a labyrinth deep beneath Dragonspear Castle. It was placed in a magical forcefield that bent the fabric of time and space.

During the Second Dragonspear War, a group of adventurers were able to navigate the Underground River to the dungeons beneath the castle and find the spear's location. They were able to bypass the protective barrier that enveloped the dragonspear, and carried it back to the exterior of Dragonspear Castle. After the heroes brought the spear before Maelstor Rex, the black dragon used his acid breath to destroy the artifact and free himself from the control of Vesarius.
