Fight for the City!
The city was under siege, most of the army was away fighting against another enemy army; Only the militia and a handful of recuperating soldiers were there to defend the walls. When the old priest appeared bedecked in an ancient panoply of war and carrying the antique spear that was the symbol of his office, most thought him mad, brave as well, but mad.
But after the first day, when the old priest led the militia to seal a breach in the wall, things changed. That old spear proved quite effective in combat and the old man had a gift of inspiring others and spurring them on. It is not an exaggeration to say that without him we would not have held out until the relief force came.
Quirinius’ Spear
This spear is constructed in an ancient and antique style, obviously from an age long past. The bread spear head is decorated with patterns unlike any in use in the modern world. The shaft is ancient wood, dark and heavy with age but still strong.
