"Fearnought's lance allows its bearer to breathe fire upon enemies whenever the name of the slain Dragon, Malifex, is uttered."
- —The fabled Wyrmlance.[2]
Legend has it the lance of Duke Beligulf Fearnought was plunged into the maw of the Dragon Malifex just as it was about to spout a great torrent of flame. It is said to have absorbed the power of the Dragon's breath and, by uttering the name of the slain Dragon, the mounted wielder may unleash this fire at will.[1a]
