Javelin

A javelin is a light spear designed primarily for casting as a ranged weapon. The javelin is almost always thrown by hand unlike the arrow and slingshot which are projectiles shot from a mechanism. However, hurling devices do exist to assist the thrower in achieving greater distance.Javelins are used by the Noldor, Sindar and Silvan Elves, the easterlings (Asdriag, Odhriag and Sagath) and Variags as well as the Dorwinrim, Dunlendings, Lossoth and Umli.
