Rhongomyniad (ロンゴミニアド, Rongominiado?) is a tower of light that anchors the layers of the world. The authority of the tower is granted in the form of a lance given to Artoria Pendragon.
It is actually not meant to be used as a weapon to strike down external invaders. It is only the shadow of its true form, said to be a tower that fastens the outer layer of the World onto the planet. The Holy Lance Rhongomyniad makes that tower, a “pillar of light”, as its main body, existing to ensure the World's stability.[1][2][3]
Originally, this Holy Lance is a "pillar of light" that fastens together the two sides of the World itself: the outer layer of the World (reality) and the Reverse Side of the World (illusion). It has been said that, in the unlikely event that this is undone, reality will be torn off from the surface of the World to reveal the Reverse Side of the World, re-enacting the Age of Gods. Being the "king" that stood at the final moments of illusion and the Age of Gods, King Arthur possesses this Holy Lance that conceals such a tremendous power.[4]
Lance
Rhongomyniad: The Lance that Shines to the Ends of the World (最果てにて輝ける槍, Saihate nite Kagayakeru Yari?) is the Holy Lance of King Arthur.[1][2][4] An anchor of storm that fastens the planet together.[1][2] A Divine Construct armament.[1] Rhongomyniad is regarded as the "spear of the end", the light of destruction coming down from the heavens,[5] whose power is said to rival the Holy Sword.[6]
Its original power is restricted according to the Thirteen Restraints, and yet, it is the pillar of the Farthest Ends, shining to extol the brilliance of the planet────Because of the existence of the Thirteen Restraints that are supposedly endowed with the same processes of the “holy sword of the planet that saves the world”, it is barely in a state where it can take up a form as a Noble Phantasm.[1][2][4] In order to perform the release of its True Name, there is a need to lift at least half of a total of Thirteen Restraints. By releasing the True Name without fulfilling this requirement, the Holy Lance will emit a fragment of the power of the light that shines in the far away.[4] When releasing its complete True Name invocation, its Rank and classification changes.[1][2][4]
After Artoria's death at Camlann, Morgan le Fay created the Mystic Code Add to seal Rhongomyniad and keep its Mystery from fading.[7] Add would be passed down a line of gravekeepers until it came into the hands of Gray in the 1990s.
Variations
Artoria
King Arthur used it in her final battle to kill Mordred. It is said that no matter the toughness of Mordred's armor, it amounted to nothing before the lance as it pierced her chest.[8] King Arthur also used this lance against Vortigern in his Dragon form, and the spiral light of the lance pierced through the heart of the dragon.[9]
Bedivere states that none of the Knights of the Round Table ever questioned the lance's nature, and so, they never learned of its significance or power, meaning that only King Arthur and Merlin among them were ever aware of what it is.

The ability to use it has been passed down in a line descended from the relatives of King Arthur, and it is currently held by Gray. Her Mystic Code "Add" only existed as a temporary seal to stop the degradation of the weapon's Mystery in the first place. When activated, it can launch a beam of light.[11]
During the events of the Atlantic Lostbelt, it was revealed by Beryl Gut, the assigned Crypter of the English Lostbelt, that there is indeed a user of a different version of Rhongomyniad present within the Lostbelt's version of the Round Table and that Beryl had somehow earned the user's wrath and anger to the point that whenever he declares his presence out loud, he immediately becomes targeted by Rhongmyniad that immediately shoots at him from space. The power of which required Kirschtaria Wodime to expand a majority of his Magic Power to defend against.
Later upon the Alien God's successful descent into the Atlantic Lostbelt, it was revealed that the weapon used to destroy the Fantasy Tree Seyfert and set it ablaze was indeed the English Lostbelt's version of Rhongomyniad, indicating that its power is leagues above the one present within the Greater History of Man and is the artifact that can possibly kill and destroy the Alien God.
Another testament to its power was the fact that Beryl stated that despite its Fantasy Tree being destroyed, the English Lostbelt still existed and avoided being "pruned" due to it now being sustained and anchored to the world by the Lostbelt's version of Rhongomynaid.

Profile
The legendary King of Knights who controlled Britain, King Arthur.
An "if" King Arthur who, after rising as a king, made the holy spear its main weapon instead of the holy sword and governed over Britain.
Having lost the growth-halt from the holy sword, she grew to a physical age fitting for a king. She became an existence closer to Divine Spirits due to using the holy spear, but since the period of use was just that of ten-odd years, her mental structure・spiritual make-up has not changed too much.
Level 1 Bond
Height/Weight: 171cm・57kg?
Source: Arthurian Legends
Region: Europe
Alignment: Lawful Good Gender: Female
There are various opinions about the body weight or figure from when she is a Lancer.
Also, she is always mounting on a horse when a Lancer. At this time, her mount is "Dun Stallion".
Level 2 Bond
The Heroic Spirit of a "different possibility" than the regular Artoria.
Although she takes a human form, she can no longer be called a Human Heroic Spirit. Due to the properties concealed in the holy spear, she has changed・mutated into an existence closer to a Divine Spirit - a goddess if anything.
While she has turned more rational, more collected than holy sword Artoria, her humanity has not been lost.
Rather, there are now composure in her choices thanks to becoming an adult, achieving an ideal way of being as a king.
Level 3 Bond
This version of her is a Heroic Spirit of Heavens that, at Camlann Hill, gave back the holy spear herself and returned to the land.
Meanwhile, the Servant "Lion King" (who has the same appearance as her) was not able to die when she was fated to die and, as consequence, ended up becoming a wandering ghost while retaining the holy spear.
Because the "Lion King" who held onto the holy spear has completely turned into a Divine Spirit, its inner aspects are different from this version of her.
Level 4 Bond
"The Spear that Shines in the Far Away"
Rank: A++ Type: Anti-Fortress Noble Phantasm
Rhongomynyad.
Holy spear. An anchor of storm that fasten together the planet.
It has been said that its real form is that of a tower that fasten together the skin of the world. When releasing the True Name, both Rank and classification change.
Its original power is being limited by thirteen restraints, but nevertheless this is the pillar in the far away that shines to extol the brilliance of the planet.
Level 5 Bond
The holy spear Rhongomynyad makes the "pillar of light" that fasten together the outer layer of the world as its main body. Thanks to the existence of the thirteen restraints that are endowed with the same processes as the "the holy sword of the planet that saves the world", this is barely in a condition where it can take shape as a Noble Phantasm.
Interlude
She, who was summoned as a Servant in Chaldea, knows the beauty of the world. In order to retrieve the world that shines not in the far away, she will certainly fight together with the Master, wielding all the power she has.
Add [Mystic Code/Other]
The Mystic Code sealing the Noble Phantasm Rhongomyniad, possessed by Gray.
Created by the Witch Morgan, she based the artificial personality within it on the knight with the least adoration for King Arthur from the Round Table. Thinking about the Atlas Contract Incident, that trick seemed more like a plot to “prevent the return of King Arthur” at that time. It was like a strange trick to say “I’ll help with your revival, but I don’t want it to succeed.”
Before being created, its true form was that of the Logos React Replica. Using the extreme calculative ability inherited from the Seven Superweapons of the Atlas Institute, it continues to seal Rhongomyniad within it. In its released form, it can of course take the shape of a scythe, but also that of a hammer, shield, hook spear, or even a boomerang. It is also able to use its immense calculative ability to display a portion of the power of Rhongomyniad itself. The appearance of the knight in “The Atlas Contract” occurred due to the same theoretical principle. Their personality was a result of a complex merger of that original knight’s and the present day Add’s, so strictly speaking it belonged to neither of them. That was likely why it was able to finally deploy the Pseudo Phantasm.
For Gray, Add was her only friend for a long time.
The name Add comes both from the word “addition” and from the tail end of the word “Rhongomyniad.”
