Vishap-Laran is god of the Spear Wall, god of [[Pike]]s and pikemen, serving under [[Sunipa]] the God of Eastern War in the [[Bureau of Heaven]]’s [[Division of War]].

Vishap-Laran appears as a donkey-headed youth clad in a buff jacket and a wicker hat, wielding a spear of improbable length. That spear, [[Salyaka]], bleeds before every battle, and the signal for forming up to present a wall of spears or pikes in many military traditions (the raising of red ribbons, the ‘dripping’ movement of a signal fan, etc) finds its root in that bleeding. It is said that thunder rumbles across the sky when he answers a worshipper's prayer, though given the number of battles fought under clear skies this seems unlikely.

Rank and file soldiers pray often to Vishap-Laran, for when they face a charge, only the massed spears of their brothers stand between them and death. Because of this, Vishap-Laran often receives more prayer than his ostensible superior [[Ko-Fuso]], god of Spearmen and Spearfighting, whose worshippers tend to be individual champions and martial artists using the spear as a favoured weapon. The god of the spear wall certainly has designs on the god of spears’ position… but known he must move carefully, for Ko-Fuso is without doubt the greater of the two in single combat.
