The Lance of Corriam was a fabled wooden weapon that belonged to Corriam Wildlough.
History[]
Corriam and his sister, the High Queen Rhulain, were sailing after a wildcat vessel, but their ship hit a reef. The wildcats boarded their ship, killing the High Queen, and Corriam's lance was snapped in the middle as he was thrown out to sea. After washing up on shore, Corriam met Runa Wildlough, whom he eventually married and lived peacefully with at Redwall Abbey. At the Abbey, Corriam took the painstaking task of repairing his broken lance. When finished, the weapon was perfectly balanced, with a solid silver sleeve to keep both halves together.
After Corriam's death, accounts differ on the ownership trajectory of the lance. While the Geminya Tome states that Falloon gifted it to Sister Geminya, Tales of Ancient Life states that Runa left it for her.
Geminya left a series of clues as to where to find the lance. She stored it in her room in the high attic of the Abbey, using it as a curtain rail. After many seasons, Redwallers found the weapon. It was used by Skipper Banjon, but was soon broken again; when Banjon impaled the water rat Groffgut with it, the rat fell on it and snapped the lance with his weight. Surprisingly, this was beneficial as the coronet of the High Rhulain was stored within the silver sleeve. Brink Cellarhog once again restored the lance with his carpentry skills.
