The Vengeance of Asenath was a powerful enchanted spear that once belonged to the slave-sorceress Asenath.[1]
Description[]
It was highly sharp compared to other weapons.[1]
Powers[]
The spear possessed a +2 enchantment that made it deadlier and guided its tip toward the wielder's target. Upon successfully hitting a target, it was possible that the spell Mordenkainen's disjunction would be cast upon it. The weapon could only be wielded by sorcerers.[1]
History[]
After losing her barbarian lover during her lifelong war against the Red Wizards of Thay, Asenath picked up the spear of a Thayan guard and washed it in the blood of her dead beloved. Next, she swore eternal hostility against the forces of Thay and all who supported them to the deity Assuran. A bolt of lightning shot from the heavens and struck the spear in Asenath's hands. While the pain from the stroke was intense, Asenath's focus remained. Another bolt, more powerful than the first, struck the spear again. The energy almost knocked Asenath from her feet, but she maintained her grip. Then a third bolt shot from the sky and launched Asenath down a mountainside. When the peals of thunder faded from the clouds, Asenath rose, broken and bloody, with the smoking spear in her hands.[1]
Even after her disappearance, the very mention of Asenath's spear still was able to send shivers down the spines of the most experienced conjurers of Thay.[1]
Some time later, in the Year of Lightning Storms, 1374 DR, this spear was found in the Blacklake district of Neverwinter, where it was sold by Dayne Lynneth.[1]
