Wada’i

One thousand men, with one year to prove their worth in royal service.

The spear has been around as long as people have, having been employed for hunting and fishing long before war. A versatile weapon, it could be held in either one or both hands and used for thrusting in melee, throwing during skirmishes, or braced in formation to stop cavalry charges. In Africa and the eastern deserts, there were few changes to the spear's design over the ensuing millennia other than advances in metal work (iron replacing bronze tips). Naturally, the development of heavy cavalry led to longer, heavier variants (the lance) and then to pikes – which could be braced to unseat horsemen or massed to create an almost impenetrable wall.
