Blitzel
A finely balanced bow of Ode'n make. Invented shortly after the Alcan conquest. Taking amusement from the Dendrit hunters' primitive weapon of choice, Ode'n blademakers crafted the Blitzel from the many discarded bows littering the late battlefield. Thus, a new addition to the Sinecure Armamentarium.
