Dissatisfied with the traditional assegai spear, Shaka looked toward a new design. It included a much longer, tapered blade on the end of a short stave. The resulting weapon, the I-klwa, was a vicious spear that was meant to stab rather than being hurled. Its name is said to come from the sound of the blade sliding out of the target's flesh.

Status of Set 8

Note: This card was never printed. The final version from the design team has been spoiled to players on the Anachronism forums. There's no telling whether or not this card will be printed, and if it were, that it'd have the same text as the spoiled version.

As is, one will notice missing elements, since the card hasn't been finished. There's no artist or flavor text; ability titles are English, rather than isiZulu.
