Wares

Wooden longbow - 800gp
Cut from the finest yew, the longbow is clearly the result of the labours of a skilled craftsman. You admire the finely polished wood's strength and smoothness as you test it in your hands to feel out its weight and balance. Strung with a tough line of gut, this bow could indeed be a powerful and deadly weapon in the hands of an accomplished archer.
Crossbow - 1100gp
Constructed of a varnished wooden stock with an iron bow crossing it at right angles, this sturdy crossbow weighs heavy in your hands. Raising it up to examine the slightly archaic design, you sense that despite its apparent unwieldiness it might propel arrows with considerable power.
Indigo-hued quiver with accents of gold and ebon - 350gp
Soft leather stretches luxuriously around the sturdy wood frame of this slender quiver, conveying an item of practical elegance. Large enough to host a plethora of arrows, the container tapers gracefully into a narrow cone and rests snugly across the back of the wearer, fitting flush to their spine. A braided strap attaches to each end to enable carrying. Atop the smooth, indigo-hued material, flames of gold dance with mesmeric grace, captured within the embrace of two thick ebon bands.
Targossian darkbow - 4000gp
The sleek frame of this lengthy bow is cut from the finest acacia wood and hand polished to a flawless finish. The gleaming material is smooth of grain, striking hues of copper blending into rich chestnut with flecks of straw-coloured striations running through the very centre. Strung with a whisper-fine strand of golden wire, the edges of the weapon resemble sharpened spear points, the tips forged from dense silver and pointing outwards like sharpened talons. The handhold at the centre of the darkbow is grooved for a better grip, with a slender layer of wood designed to rest snugly against the knuckle and lock the digits in place. Ornate wings jut out of either side of the central column and flare outwards with ominous spikes, akin to those of a dragon.
