Bloodhoof Runespear



The Bloodhoof Runespear was a spear wielded by Cairne Bloodhoof, High Chieftain of Thunder Bluff.

Background
This spear has been handed down through many generations of the Bloodhoof line, and is currently in the possession of Cairne Bloodhoof. Each owner carves his own major history into the shaft before passing it on to the next generation.

Appearance
Every inch of this massive spear is carved with tauren tribal runes.

Powers
The runespear can return to its wielder when thrown. It allows its wielder to move more stealthily, particularly in plains of tall grass, and it hides his presence from animals.

Destruction
Upon challenging acting Warchief Garrosh Hellscream to a mak'gora - a duel to the death - Cairne wielded the Bloodhoof Runespear, facing Garrosh's Gorehowl. During the combat, Garrosh shattered the Runespear and proceeded to inflict a mortal wound (though it did not seem so to any observer) as a result; Cairne was killed shortly thereafter. The remnants of his Runespear were gathered and placed on his funeral pyre afterwards, except for a fragment that was claimed by Thrall as a memory of his old friend; the rune carved into the fragment was the rune for "healing", a meaning that did not escape Thrall.
