Item from Curse of Strahd by Tracy & Laura Hickman, Chris Perkins / Wizards of the Coast
An ancient spear wielded by the chieftain Kavan, buried at Yester Hill — it drains the life force of those it strikes and feeds it to the wielder.
The Blood Spear of Kavan is an ancient weapon buried in the cairn of the barbarian chieftain Kavan atop Yester Hill. The spear is darkly enchanted — when it strikes a living creature, it drains blood and life force, transferring vitality to its wielder. The druids of Yester Hill know it is buried there but consider the cairn too sacred to disturb. The spear predates Strahd's rule and carries the weight of Barovia's older, wilder history — a time before the vampire, when the valley's dangers were merely mortal.
