Niernen ("Orchid" in the Ancient Language) was a weapon known as a Dauthdaert, in the form of a long spear. Its most noticeable feature was that it was surrounded by an emerald glow and the weapon itself was also of a green hue. Although it was thought destroyed after Du Fyrn Skulblaka, the spear passed into the hands of the Waldgrave family who kept it in Belatona. During the Battle of Belatona, Lord Bradburn gave the order for it to be used against Saphira. Although Saphira was nearly killed in the conflict, the soldier wielding it was defeated and the weapon passed into the hands of Arya, who later used it to fight Thorn and slay Shruikan.
