Materials
- What is Dragoon Lance made out of?
Orichalcum, an almost-mythical metal, makes up both the spear and shield. The highlights are made of a silver-steel alloy, more for decoration than actual fighting. Orichalcum is an extremely durable form of copper, found in the mountains very far to the north. It has a similar edge-retention to steel, and conducts electricity very well. The handles for both the shield and on the lance are made of simple leather, more for function.
Weight
- How much does Dragoon Lance weigh?
~150 lbs for the lance, ~100 for the shield
Design
Long, conical design. In all, it's about 10 feet long when fully extended and 6 feet when retracted. The base of the lance scoops upward like a bowl, and the body of the lance ends in a rook-like shape where the business-end sticks out.
The shield is reminiscent of bastion walls, the center of the shield being the largest convex section. There are two smaller sections on the left and right, and they all have the rook-shaped protrusions on top. There is a handle and an armband on the inside to place the arm and hand.
