Gugnir
Gugnir was a magic spear, also known as the Odinspear and the Lance of Fate. Following the destruction of the Three Keys to Power, it became one of the Three New Keys to Power.
History
Gugnir was used by Lord Valois to aid King Culen against Kenneth II in 971. Valois used the Hasta Fatum to conjure up watery hands to attack the Wyvern gargoyles, when they came to Kenneth II's aid in the battle with Culen. The Archmage counter-attacked with a spell, severing the spearhead from the shaft. ("The Draw")
At an unknown point in time, the lancehead became the prize of Anapaula Aguilar's husband's collection but he never acquired the haft. By 1997, it was kept by Anapaula in her home in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Anapaula showed it off to Dominique Destine who timed her visit to sunset so that she could transform into a gargoyle and steal the object. ("Questions")
Real World Background
"Hasta Fatum" is Latin for "Spear of Fate". ("Hasta" is a technical term for a kind of thrusting spear used in ancient Rome.)
