Iasha white ora weapons were originally sold off the shelf at the pay-for auction the Wavedancer. They are a special kind of white ora weaponry. They are separated into three tiers: locked, unlocked, and 6x with special properties. Five 5x and one 6x weapon were auctioned off at each of the first four runs of the Wavedancer. Three fourth tier weapons were auctioned off at the Foehn's Promise. Tier one weapons were available for sale at Duskruin Arena.

Analyze

You immediately sense that this is a White Ora weapon known as an "Iasha."

This is Tier 1 (of 3).  It is the traditional make, which means that in the hands of a cleric or paladin, it is a holy weapon that gives off holy fire flares.  (In order for any profession to be able to wield it in this manner, a "Lesser All-Profession" upgrade is necessary.)

You can attempt to PEER and LOOK at the pike, though, some of the attempts at these actions will fall short if you are not a paladin/cleric.

Any merchant can aesthetically alter the pike, provided it remains white ora (or, in the case of unarmed combat footwear and handwear, leather or similar, unless it is already made from white as its base foundation).

You might be able to have a talented merchant lighten the white ora pike for you.

Tier 1

Locked - has holy fire flares (2-75 damage) and random messaging in the hands of a paladin or cleric. Only has two verbs available for use

Usage

Verb First Third
LOOK Honed to a finely sharpened edge, the blade of the falchion is etched with an intricate owl, each delicate feather traced in silver. The smooth ivory hilt is expertly tooled with flowing script that creates a scrolling base for a sphere of spiderweb turquoise set into the pommel as a counterweight. The white ora falchion is surrounded by a pure white flickering flame that burns with the rage of divine fury.

You also notice a small enchanter's glyph.

Ivas As you raise your white ora falchion high above you, your head swims, and your hands tremble with desire.

The trembling gradually subsides as you lower your arms, though the desire within you lingers on. As XXX raises her white ora falchion high above, her eyes roll, and her hands tremble.

The owl beats its wings once only and then fades into nothingness. Ivory light flares to life along XXX's white ora falchion, the brilliance of it nearly blinding. As the light flares across the weapon's keen edge, the faint image of an ivory stallion seems to gallop to the weapon's tip.

Loresong

Loresong Reaction
As you begin to sing, your vision clouds over and a scene unfolds before you. The image of a scarred dwarf in white leathers laboring deep in a dark, dank mine, grunting as he extracts precious white ora ore. This section has not been added yet; please add to it now!
As you continue to sing, you can see the dwarf laboring over a hot iron forge. He mops his brow continually as he pumps the bellows then returns to the anvil, coaxing a weapon from the white-hot metal. As he hammers again and again with a perfect eonake forging-hammer he looks more and more pleased with his work. He now and again sticks it into a trough filled with a shimmering oil. After a few more minutes of hammering, he begins to look unsatisfied with his results, and then suddenly tosses it back into the fire. "I can do better than that, for Eonak's glory!" This section has not been added yet; please add to it now!
As you continue to sing, your inner vision once again focuses on the scarred dwarf, carefully polishing the (WEAPON) before handing it to an imposing priest. His raiment is of the finest quality, from the magnificent cloth-of-silver cope, his bejeweled miter, and gleaming amethyst on his hand marking him as one of the ecclesiastical hierarchy. He sets the weapon on the altar and cries, "In the name of (BARD'S DEITY), I consecrate this weapon." This section has not been added yet; please add to it now!
As your song comes to an end, you see the (WEAPON NOUN) being used in combat training in the monastery. A burly dwarven acolyte rains down blow after blow versus an obviously overmatched elven clark. Finally, the white ora awl-pike bursts into flames and sets the elf's shield alight! He cries out, "The day is yours M'laird Dwarf. I prostrate myself to your superior skills and must atone for my lack." He glances at the knotted scourge on the training wall and grimaces.
