The Royal Tines is an Uncommon Spirit Short Blade (**26** base attack, pure Spirit attunement, **10 Spirit** required) for Sirin/Duelo pacts, from **Vadagar Stag** fragments.

Or the claws of the great Omen Bear himself? Wield this weapon by the Arbearer's deal: to protect the old roots yet to heal- or to pick your teeth after good meal.
