Spear Ballister
The handheld lance ballista wielded by Glasgow the Unfettered, Destroyer of Bridges. Created before the advent of Empedoclean Rounds.
Glasgow was known for yielding to no charge, and finding no wall unyielding to his own. The only member of Sage Sigrid’s band to breach the inner gates, he was suspended in time along with the rest of her invasion. Still, those who escaped Khoving could not forget Glasgow’s final cry as he broke through the walls, unwilling to submit to any rule but his own:
“If you fall behind, run faster. If you fall down, roll outta my way.”
