Taking one of Camelot's sacred lances for yourself doesn't mean you'll automatically be able to fit it to this ship.

Divine Constructs are closely tied to their wielder. You might be able to create one, but you having the right to actually use it isn't the same thing.

From what I've gathered, it was Aurora who took you and those other human children in just after you were born.

@Da Vinci
Woodwose was the one who saw you had talent at the rearing house, and Lancelot taught you how to use a sword.

I'm guessing the purpose behind all that was to create their own Child of Prophecy?

That's right. After Ainsel's prophecy became known, a number of different measures were taken in response to the Child of Prophecy.
[k]
@Percival
The queen's army captured all faeries who had just been born, some villages hid next-generation faeries who met the description...
[k]
@Percival
...and some villages raised them in secret.
[k]
@Percival
The lord of Salisbury's idea was this:

If we don't know where the Child of Prophecy will appear, we can just prepare our own in the meantime.

What's more, Salisbury possessed one of the weapons Aesc the Savior used to save Britain in the Fae Era...
[k]
@Percival
This spear, the Spear of Selection.
[k]
@Percival
However, Aesc had placed a seal on the spear that prevented any sinner from using it.

In practice, that meant only humans could even touch the spear, let alone wield it.
