A gera (pronounced GEH-rah) is a hooked weapon used by the Keleta-Ru and some Fanakaran peoples of the Wounds. It is especially favored by the Harera-Paro. Gera vary in size, but are typically six to eight inches long - along the span of the hook they approach a foot in length. Most are carved of bone, though some metal ones have been made by Taruhmite smiths. They generally, though not always, have serrated hooks to prevent those stabbed from easily pulling free.
In combat, gera are used as grappling weapons, intended less to inflict damage on their own - though they are certainly capable of doing so - and more to immobilize a target and allow them to be more easily attacked with other weapons, or else to be restrained. For this purpose gera are often attached to long spears, or else to ropes that can be used to pull the hook back after it has been thrown.
