Wares
- Green-dyed leather quiver - 300gp
- Dyed a deep, emerald hue, a sturdy piece of buckskin shapes into a functional quiver. Precise, even stitching along the seams reinforces an inner casing of tough rawhide, and extra padding at the base wards against sharp arrowheads. An exquisite rendering of a mature oak tree inks upon the outer hide, its dark brown branches sprawling in magnificent dominance.
- Eleusian ivy scabbard - 750gp
- This magnificent leather scabbard is crafted from fine boar's leather of a rich brown hue, conditioned to a slightly reflective sheen. Appliqued to the surface is a pattern of green ivy leaves, the piecework stitched on with precise handiwork. Worn over the back, several adjustable leather thongs are designed to wrap over the shoulders, under the arms, and across the chest, ensuring that the sheathe stays comfortably in place when a weapon is drawn.
- Hunter's longbow of polished ivory - 950gp
- Harvested from a long-fallen carcass of a great, woolly mammoth, an ivory tusk arches into the elegant body of a hunter's longbow. Chips and scars mar the otherwise pristine bone, the aged surface buffed to a dull shine. Betwixt the limbs, glistening spidersilk threads into a taut bowstring.
- Gilded crossbow - 2500gp
- Shorn from an ancient sentinel, a slender beam of oak forms the stock of a deadly crossbow. A widened stirrup secures at the head of the weapon, from which arcs a gilded lath: arboreal engravings creep across the metal, reminiscent of the Great Ithmia. Betwixt the aureate limbs, a glistening thread of spidersilk draws taut.
- Kingwood darkbow inlaid with gold - 3000gp
- Wrought of glossy kingwood, the sleek limbs of an elegant darkbow arch and invert into a graceful recurve. Fine, dark stripes and pale streaks, akin to the hue of the sapwood, course across its length irregular swirls, the mottled banding ornamented with intricate engravings of forestial descent. Inlaid with burnished gold, delicate vines loop across the wood in tight coils and twists, the stems laden with unfurling leaves. Gossamer spidersilk stretches taut betwixt the upper and lower limbs, glistening with a pearlescent shimmer.
