Jousting

[Aymelek]

Lances for Jousting:

A Tahari kaiila lance is long and slim, eight to nine feet in length, terminating in an extremely narrow point of razored steel, some eleven inches long which is bound in the shaft by four rivets.

Red Savages have two types of lance, one for hunting and the other for war. Hunting lances are commonly longer, heavier and thicker than war lances. Too, they are often undecorated, save perhaps for a knot of feathers. The point of the hunting lance is usually longer and narrower than that of the war lance. They both have heads of metal, bone or stone which are attached with sinew or rawhide, and also sometimes with metal trade rivets. The Red Savages who have mastered the tarn use a lance which is longer and more slender than the other two.

Savages of Gor - Page 43 “The kaiila lance takes, on the whole, two forms, the hunting lance and the war lance. Hunting lances are commonly longer, heavier and thicker than war lances. Too, they are often undecorated, save perhaps for a knot of the feathers. . .The point of the hunting lance is usually longer and narrower than that of the war lance. . .The head, of metal, or of bone or stone, with sinew or rawhide, and also sometimes with metal trade rivets. . .The tarn lance, it might be mentioned, as is used by the red savages who have mastered the tarn, is, in size and shape, very similar to the kaiila lance. It differs primarily in being longer and more slender.”
