Etra of the Many Spears was a Naga hero of the Dead-Water tribe. According to tribal elders, his soul was older than the tribe itself and before he had even hatched his egg-minders could hear him crying out war-chants.

In life, he was a fearsome warrior who was said to have felled great trees and slain huge beasts. After defeating other warriors, he would often eat their hearts or claim their grave-stakes as a trophy, which he would store in a large stone vault known as the Tomb of Many Spears. When a great Voriplasm claimed his vault, a furious Etra fought a great battle with it. Etra was ultimately killed and the vault became his tomb. Over the years, many Dead-Water kaals attempted to raid the tomb and claim a piece of Etra's remains to forge a mighty weapon, but they all ended in failure.[1]

In 2E 582, the Vestige ventured into Etra's tomb and defeated the remains of the Naga warrior in order to recover his grave-stake and learn more about the Remnant of Argon.[2]
