SPECIAL ATTRIBUTES​

Forged from flawless azure blackstone, alchemically refined under the rites of the Iron Clergy and tempered within the void-ritual pits of the Dathomir, the Sovereign Thronepiercer is an executioner's lance of terrifying proportions. Nearly twice the height of a standard Mandalorian and burdened with dense weight, its spiral-shaped head resembles a divine auger meant to carve through creation itself. The shaft is reinforced with spun blackstone fibers and bound in Glyphscript runes, pulsing softly with blue-white radiance when gripped by Domina's four hands. Though monstrously heavy, she wields it with the ceremonious ease of a saint lifting a censer. When dormant, the lance disassembles its essence into her Crown of Spectral Blades, where it slumbers as a glyph until summoned again.

Though a spear by design, the lance possesses a shifting internal density due to its Ha'rangirite heart. When Domina wills it, the crystalline core subtly alters the weapon's mass distribution, allowing it to temporarily grow denser and heavier, transforming its shaft and head into a massive crushing bludgeon. In this form, the lance becomes capable of shattering fortifications or knocking aside armored foes with catastrophic force. This metamorphic density shift works in tandem with the Azure Blackstone's inherent resilience, ensuring the weapon never fractures, even when delivering impact forces that would reduce lesser arms to scrap.

​

Ha'rangirite Drillspiral Impalement: The weapon's head is shaped as an enormous helical drill, capable of rotating at transonic speeds when Domina channels her will through its Prime-script runes. Upon impact, it does not simply pierce, it bores through armor, stone, metal bulkheads, and even corrupted Force-grown biomass with horrifying efficiency. The rotation creates a harmonic resonance that unravels molecular cohesion, allowing it to penetrate hulls that conventional war-gear cannot even scratch. This makes the lance a nightmare for fortifications and a terror on the battlefield, where one charge can split a heavy walker or breach the walls of a vault in a single shattering strike.

Blackstone Mass-Shift Core: At the heart of the lance rests a core of stabilized azure blackstone that can drastically alter its density at Domina's command. This allows her to switch the weapon's weight from "merely colossal" to "meteorically devastating." In its heavy-state, each swing becomes a pulverizing blow capable of cracking dura-crete slabs or sending shockwaves that rattle starship corridors. In its lighter state, the lance becomes maneuverable enough for mounted combat and rapid spinning thrusts, allowing Domina to maintain full battlefield agility despite the weapon's enormous size.

Spectral Javelin Projection: When returned to her Crown of Spectral Blades, Domina may fire the lance as a javelin of pure destructive force, summoning its physical form mid-flight. This creates the effect of an instant, hyper-velocity projectile that detonates on impact. The force is comparable to a starfighter's mass-driver slug, making it ideal for ship-to-ship hull cracking, knight-breaking charges, or annihilating shield generators. The projectile can be recalled instantly, reconstituting itself in her hands or returning to the Crown to await the next summoning.

Warmount Synchronization Rite: The lance is bonded through ancient rituals to Domina's warmount, allowing the beast to channel its momentum, fury, and kinetic output directly into the weapon. In mounted charges, the Crownsplitter becomes an unstoppable avalanche of mass and speed, capable of skewering armored lines or demolishing heavy infantry formations in a single thunderous pass. The weapon's resonance harmonizes with the rhythm of the mount's gait, stabilizing Domina's aim even during high-velocity charges across hazardous terrain.

Brimstone Club Function: Though forged for thrusting and drilling, the Impaler is equally lethal when used as an improvised war-club. Its reinforced shaft and counterweighted haft allow Domina to deliver crushing sweeps capable of folding steel plating or sweeping aside entire squads with brute force. The spiked drill-head adds tremendous inertia to her swings, transforming each movement into a bone-shattering arc of force that can reduce obstacles, or foes, to shards. The weapon's versatility ensures it remains deadly even when impalement is impractical.

INTRINSIC STRENGTHS​

Thornbloom Overdrive: Embedded deep within the lance's core, the refined Ha'rangirite acts as a micro-reactor of divine energy, capable of entering a state known as Thornbloom Overdrive. When triggered, intentionally or through emotional extremes, the core floods the lance with radiant blue fire, dramatically increasing its kinetic drilling speed and enhancing the explosive force of its Azure Blackstone splintering. This temporary overdrive allows Domina to bypass substances normally resistant to piercing weapons, including reinforced starship bulkheads and beskar alloys. The radiance coats the weapon in a shimmering corona of force-infused energy, guiding its trajectory like an arrow drawn by the will of Ha'rangir Himself. However, its use is taxing, draining the lance's reserve for later engagements.

Blackstone Spiral: The lance's structure, forged from stabilized Azure Blackstone, grants it the ability known as Resonant Tunneling, an esoteric reaction where the Blackstone's crystalline lattice vibrates at a frequency that forcibly separates molecular bonds upon repeated impact. With each consecutive strike delivered to a single point, the lance destabilizes the target's internal structure, allowing it to burrow through obstacles that are otherwise impenetrable. This makes the weapon devastating against armor plating, shield generators, and even geological barriers such as bedrock or ice shelves. In close quarters, the effect manifests as a deepening "hunger" within the lance, drawing its tip deeper into the material as though the Blackstone itself yearns to bite and dig.

Spectral Artillery Javelin: Because the lance is etched with Domina's royal blade-glyphs, it can be summoned as a spectral javelin from her armament lexicon, manifesting momentarily as an ethereal spear of blue flame before solidifying mid-flight. This hybridized state, half physical, half phantom, lets the lance be hurled at extreme velocities with little regard for conventional ballistics. Upon impact, the ethereal body collapses into Blackstone spikes that erupt from the contact point, turning a single projectile into a widespread cascade of jagged crystalline shrapnel. Even when thrown, it remains tethered to her lexicon, allowing instantaneous recall or re-materialization for follow-up attacks.

DESIGN FLAWS​

Massive Size & Cumbersome Ground Use: Without Domina's immense physical strength or additional limbs, the lance is effectively unusable. Even with her advantages, the weapon is unwieldy in confined spaces, tight corridors, or environments where large sweeping motions are obstructed. While devastating on open battlefields, it becomes a liability in cramped quarters where smaller blades outperform it.

Requires Momentum for Maximum Impalement: Despite its immense power, the spiral-drill penetration is drastically more effective when used in charges or thrusts backed by significant momentum. Stationary usage, or attempts to drill without proper force behind the strike, result in reduced breakthrough potential. Domina can compensate with strength, but even she cannot fully replace the physics of high-speed impact.

Recall Delay After Javelin Projection: Though powerful, the spectral javelin attack requires a brief stabilization period before the lance can be summoned again. During this interval, typically only a few seconds, but critical in fast-paced combat, Domina is momentarily deprived of her largest and longest-reaching weapon. Enemies who exploit this window may force her into close quarters where the lance is less practical.

Nullwake Stasis: When subjected to a Force-nullifying field, whether created through Void Stone, ysalamiri, anti-Force dampeners, or Null Zones, the lance undergoes a catastrophic suppression of its paranormal qualities. The Ha'rangirite core, robbed of the Force currents that keep it "awake," dims instantly, its radiant hum collapsing into a dull, inert stone. Simultaneously, the Azure Blackstone frame loses its predatory "hunger," ceasing all internal resonance and halting any growth of crystalline splinters. The weapon's structural integrity remains intact, but all supernatural properties, including its drilling spin, resonant tunneling, summoning tether, and density shift become nonfunctional. If forced violently within the null field, the lance risks entering static shocklock, a state in which its crystalline components vibrate dangerously, threatening to fracture or implode if the field persists too long. Outside the field, it requires a brief ritual pulse or direct Force-touch to rekindle its Ha'rangirite heart and stabilize its matrix before full function returns.

THE CROWNSPLITTING THORN​

The Crownsplitter Lance began not as a weapon of war, but as a sacred industrial tool—an orbital breaching drill used by early Ha'rangrite forge-monks to bore into dead star fragments and harvest Blackstone veins. The first prototypes were long, spiraled pylons wrapped around a vibrating Ha'rangrite core, designed to grind through materials that conventional cutters could not touch. When Domina Prime first witnessed the drill's catastrophic bite, shearing through meteor crust and drinking the heat of its own friction, she saw not a miner's implement, but the heart of a battlefield instrument worthy of her Warmount and her divine crusade. Under her order, the Iron Clergy set about transforming the drill into something far more terrible, reforging its purpose while respecting its brutal lineage.

What emerged was the earliest ancestor of the Lance: a spiraled jousting spear meant for aerial shock cavalry. Its rotational channels were refined into impact-guiding flutes, its Ha'rangrite core stabilized into a pulsing energy spine, and the Blackstone casing reworked to harden rather than erode under stress. Mounted upon her dragon Warmount, the weapon functioned as a living artillery spike, capable of delivering drilling, kinetic, and energy penetration in a single devastating pass. Fortifications, anti-air towers, and even shielded walkers fell to the spiraled wrath of this proto-lance as Dima turned every dive into a catastrophic breach. But as the wars of Clan Prime escalated, she demanded more versatility: a weapon that could serve not only in the sky, but anywhere she willed violence to be done.

Through countless reforgings, the drill evolved into a hybridized battlefield lance, a spear, a projectile, and a siege instrument in one. Blackstone's resistance to sorcery and its hunger for stray metaphysical energy made it ideal for channeling the Ha'rangrite core's wrath, and the Iron Clergy began experimenting with gravitic caging, recoil dampeners, and tether systems. Soon, Dima could launch the weapon like a ballistic javelin, call it back in a spinning arc, supercharge it with heat siphoned from her Warmount, or drive it point-first through starship hulls. The spiraled design persisted, no longer to drill rock, but to shred armor, distort shielding, and twist Force constructs into useless filaments.

By the time it joined her crown of spectral blades, the Lance had become something far beyond its humble industrial origins. A relic that embodied Clan Prime's creed of repurposing creation for destruction. It remained a symbol of evolution through war: a drill turned spear, a spear turned artillery round, an artillery round turned divine implement. In the hands of Domina Prime, it was both history and prophecy made manifest, a spiraled shard of a broken star that remembered what it once was, but gloried in what it had become.
