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.

Trivia

Prior to the Virtue Rework of Preludes 13, Blitzel scaled with Courage, requiring a minimum of 10.

Blitzel was transformed into Thistle during Preludes 9, and was reintroduced alongside its Fragments in Preludes 10.
- Any changes prior to Preludes 9 are relevant to Thistle, but are kept in the Update History for record-keeping

Envoys with Fragments attained prior to Preludes 15 retained the ability to Craft Blitzel with Tuvalkane at the cost of the original Crafting Requirements
