Sunspear

Sunspear is a name shared by various blisterwood weapons, in the forms of dagger, spear and sword and famed throughout Meiyerditch for its powers against vampyres. It was initially located by Vanstrom Klause and Kendrick, but after it was used to kill a vyrewatch and a ghetto sacked in response, it was hidden away in northern Meiyerditch, the location known only to Vanstrom and Kendrick.

Killing vyres with this weapon will automatically cremate the corpse, giving loot similar to Shiny columbarium keys and also giving 70 prayer experience.

History
In the year 163, the Sunspear was retrieved by a party of eight people, made up of Vanstrom, Kendrick, Gar'rth, Ben Strainge, Tam and three others. During its retrieval, Tam and the three others were killed by bloodveld, Ben was wounded, and the four survivors were captured by Vanescula Drakan and taken to Tenebra. When Gar'rth attempted to use it on his father, he failed, and Ben and Kendrick were killed. Gar'rth was subsequently imprisoned for his assassination attempt.

When Gar'rth was reunited with his father, Tenebra used the dagger on Vanescula, though she somehow survived. During the battle at the River Salve, Gar'rth managed to stab Tenebra when he was weak, and Kara-Meir finished him off by stabbing Sunspear into the base of his skull.

After the completion of The Lord of Vampyrium quest, the Sunspear may be used as a main-hand melee weapon. It has the ability to automatically cremate vyre corpses, negating the need to cremate the corpses in the Paterdomus Columbarium. The cremation rewards from the Sunspear is equivalent to that of a Shiny columbarium key. Every vyre corpse cremated with the Sunspear also counts towards the player's total cremated corpses.

Should the player speak with Kara-Meir on Tuska's corpse while carrying the Sunspear she claims to still have it, and that it is a dagger, not a sword. She and the player then speculate that both weapons might have originated as parts of the same spear, hence 'spear' in the name of these weapons.
