Sir Varion's Lance
Weapon (lance), uncommon (requires attunement)
This weighty lance was originally designed for Sir Varion, a brave knight with a famous disregard for horses. You gain a +1 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with this magic weapon. This weapon has the heavy property, but is uniquely balanced to function well in close-quarters combat. Attacking a target within 5 feet of you with this weapon doesn't impose disadvantage on the attack roll.
If you are attuned to Sir Varion's shield, you can wield this weapon with one hand, instead of two, while also holding the shield.
"Dearest Princess,
I will come with great haste to your aid. No creature of any color, size, shape, origin, language, age... (the list continues with several repeated options over the next few lines) ...or orientation will stop me from saving you from its malicious clutches. Rest assured, my Lady, your hero is coming as quickly as my legs can carry me!
Stay strong, Princess Wingwumms. May the fresh tide grace your skin.
—Sir Varion
Postscript: Do tell the dragon, won't you? I eagerly await our dramatic encounter when I find you and its dastardly lair!"

I was going to ask if the flavor text of the knight disregarding mounts was meant to imply that it could be used without disadvantage while not mounted. It's a pretty big point to risk assuming it.
Lances only make attacks with disadvantage if you attack a creature within 5 feet of you, regardless of if you're mounted or not. This item removes that requirement. What being mounted allows you to do while wielding a lance is wield it with only one hand, which you can do if you're also holding Sr Varion's shield.
