Origin[edit | edit source]
The spear orginates from the Greek saga of Jason and the Argonauts. The huntress Atalanta joined the crew of the Argo to be with her love Meleager, though her oaths as a virgin or Artemis prevented them from consumaing their affection. Despite this,she became the only female on the voyage and played a part in many of the events that transpired on the quest.
While among the other Argonauts she gifted to Jason her far-flying spear, a gift from Artemis herself.
Effects[edit | edit source]
When thrown, the spear surrounds itself with powerful wind currents that allow it to travel incredible distances and almost move independantly to it's wielder. It also generates powerful gales of wind at the point of impact when it's used as a stabbing implement.
