Grey Fulcrum

The Grey Fulcrum was a legendary spear created by the goddess Hemlocke. It had the very unique capability to kill an Immortal.

Description
The Grey Fulcrum appeared to be a long spear made of shining white, dull grey, and deep black metals twisted together. Its tip was extremely sharp.

Powers
In its dormant state, the Grey Fulcrum was more or less an ordinary spear with great durability. However, it could be charged with raw power from sources of light, dark, and shadow. With each charge, the spear gained new properties and magical powers. With all three charges, the spear became a fearsome weapon, even in the hands of an unskilled user.

Even the spear's many capabilities with three charges were overshadowed by its ability to kill an Immortal. Once fully charged, the spear was capable of killing one of the Immortals of light, dark, or shadow, at which point it would be destroyed.

History
According to the psychopomps, the spear is an artifact forged by Hemlocke as a sort of insurance in case the rising conflicts between Cerielle, the Chained Harbinger, and Rivath came to a point where they threatened the world.

Somehow, the spear found its way into the famous Grey Admiral of Garaam Varask, who was a renowned adventurer and claimed to have recovered it from some ancient ruin far from Leviathan Bay. He learned enough about the spear to charge it with all three forms of power required for full capacity, but never intended to kill an Immortal with the Fulcrum -- indeed, he was never aware such a thing was possible.

The Grey Admiral was buried with his spear in his tomb, set into a cliff south of Garaam Varask. The tomb was raided by Gaius Kvath, Inganno Asklepios, Radomir Vlasak and Tonakh. Tonakh, an orc shaman, took the spear and became its wielder. The spear would accept no other at the time.

Tonakh managed to charge the spear with the power of darkness and shadow, but was killed by an angel of Ylle in the Brilliant Sanctum during his attempt to charge it with the power of light. Inganno took the spear and finished the job, and was ultimately responsible for using the Grey Fulcrum for its final purpose: killing the Immortal of light, Cerielle.
