Wait have we actually considered just making the spears for our Legions elite instead of us? I mean nobody said that all the sacrifices for the spear had to be done close together.
Plus wouldn't it be more thematic to have the spears be something like a Captains weapon that they use throughout their career hunting enemies only to strike it into the ground of their Homeland when they retire to have it Burst into a tree enriched by his service and sacrifices ( both of himself and his enemies) to his people.
Basically make a couple dozen sacrificial spears as sort of long term investments, the captains use them throughout their career until retirement or until it's "full" and then just plop it where they want a Heart tree. Because these spears sound like the kind of stuff that Tribal chiefs used and would plop down where they would make their tribes home.
You know thinking about it that really fits with Winterfell. Who knows maybe a couple thousand years ago Bran the Builder shanked an Other only for his spear to pop into a tree and then he decided that it would be a good place for a Keep. Hell Heart Trees make a lot more sense that way don't they? We could make that part of our Legions retirement plan.
