Spear of the Silver Dawn

The Spear of the Silver Dawn was the spear used by Roman Prefectus Lucius in Egypt to slay a powerful Druid who was a threat to the kings of the land. Unbeknownst to Lucius and the Romans, who thought this powerful Druid was just another of the hundreds of men calling themselves Messiahs who the Romans were crucifying.

Lucius later brought the spear to Britannia and hid it away. Refusing to acknowledge its presence and claiming to have forgotten about it to everyone who asked, after meeting with Sawyer and being inspired to believe in his role in the prophecy of Veran, Lucius retrieved the spear and buried it in a safe place from the Romans. When the Druids had need of the spear, the Romans captured Lucius before he could say where he buried it, and so Cait, Divis, Antedia, Ania, Cwunt, and Rayne set out to rescue him, learning from Hella that Lucius would be kept in the Blue Hills to the west, and guided by Hella's sister Drella, who knew the way.

The Prophecy of Veran
The prophecy of Veran states the Spear of the Silver Dawn would come from the east and the chosen one will use it to reunite the tribes against Lokka and free them from his spell. The prophecy does not mention specifically where from the east the spear will come from, what it is made from, or what type of spear it is. While performing 'miracles' taught to her by the Druids at a fair, Cait finally received the great vision that her mentor Divis was preparing her for, where she was impaled through the stomach with the spear, set alight. When Hemple made her husband General Aulus Plautius visit the underworld to see Cait's sister Islene, he saw Cait and Lucius holding the spear, which she held aloft to summon a cross made of light.
