    I have a question. In the Fantasy section, I didn’t see the Spear of the Horizon in the Glossary, but I assume from the context that it’s Alarell’s weapon. Is this correct? Sorry for geeking out here, when someone puts a lot of time into creating a world I can’t help but find out everything about it. This is coming from someone who has not only finished the Silmarillion, but has picked it up again for rereading.

    @Jessica

    I purposefully held back talking about the Spear of the Horizon. It’s a big part of the first book of the main sequence, and represents one of the major plot drivers of the whole series. It’s one of several objects owned by Alarell.
