Sir Ergon's Gossamer Recurve

A millennia has passed since Sir Ergon of house Bulwag first conceived the Gossamer Recurve, during our glorious strife against the terrible forgotten and their bewitched lackeys in the Second Gate War. 

Yet, the bow endures, its legacy unbroken; Even today, beneath the vaulted arches of the Forge-Hall of our eternal empire, this marvel of warfare takes shape as both instrument and incantation. It excludes itself from the other mundane bows with its recurved limbs, tapering to sturdy nocks woven from the silk of mighty spiders and its grip bound in Lignoplast from Elysian Spire trees. One who listens with an attuned ear can hear the faint rumble of runic etched into its hardened limbs.

The jagged limbs of the recurve, their mantle engraved with Dourun’s prayer, endow its arrows with velocity and piercing strength that no longbow formed by primitive craft can aspire to attain, Firing with great accuracy volleys of tenaciously enchanted arrows each capable of piercing steel-clad flesh 700 yards away from the wielder with laughable ease, factors like wind resistances becoming negligible at lower distances, and insufficient cover like mud brick walls become tombs for false safety before the pierce of it’s enchanted arrows.

While the many dwarven armies may favor their muskets and crossbows, this example of dwarven ingenuity still found itself in the hands of grateful armies for hefty coin, the relative ease and lowly cost attributed to the craftsmanship of Ergon’s Recurve allowing it to be a favored candidate for production and foreign export. The elven legions of Tassendrelle, Hvel’Luthnor and Sarassen especially favor this compound bow. Even off brand imitations and second hand purchase were initiated by other surrounding nations to attain this weapon on a reliable scale. Sir Ergon’s Gossamer most recent use by its regular wielders being the quelling of the Vosk insurgency.
