While working on his spell, Alzar continues to put together the Nykthos Spear for Nix. He used clerical magic to survive and Astral Spells to the Yggdrasil and carves a length off for a spear shaft a few months ago. He researches how to carve it and practiced. He looks at rival immortals to find two to bless the knife and he uncovers Liena, Lawful Neutral and young immortal from Oceansend and Bemarris. Both are local immortals, one pro-Norwold and the other pro-Oceansend. So when Norwold annexed Oceansend, you can imagine how happy they were with each other.

Both would clearly be interested in making inroads with Alzar’s nation. One as a thorn to Norwold and the other an ally of it to bring them closer together. Alzar promises to build a shrine to each to their church, and they each bless his dagger.


Alzar is going to make:

Nykthos, Spear of Vix:
+5 Spear, sized for Vix

And give it these abilities:


Teleporting – A hit character is teleported adjacent to the person who threw the spear
Returning – It will return to the hand of the person who tossed it.
-2 AC when used in combat
User is immune to level drain

Alzar has researched a path for making it:

Ivory Horn from an extra-planar elephant to be carved into the point by a knife made from flint gathered from the oldest mountain on Pandius.

Wool from a tiger from the future must be secured, and used to rub down the spear after it’s ready

Verite to make the end of the spear forged by an evil ghost, mined from another plane, and forged in the fires of a dragon’s belly. Then the metal must be cooled on the Elemental Plane of Ice and dried in the Positive Material Plane.

The shaft of the spear must be cut from Yggdrasil, and carved by a shearing knife blessed by two enemy immortals.


The shaft is now carved.


Year 10, Month 6,


This month Alzar is working on the tip. He Astral spells to the Wildlands and after a few hours found and slew a giant mammoth, and carves the tusks off and teleports back. Then Alzar is trying to find the oldest mountain on Pandius but he can’t find it yet.

He has gotten the wool ready too.

The metal is rough. The problem is that Alzar can’t summon an evil ghost right now (he’s not evil). But he found a lode of verite on the Mineral plane, he just needs to rest to jumpstart it.
