Widow-Bough Shortbow and Silken Arrows

Crafted from the petrified, charcoal-colored wood of the Black Widow Cypress, this shortbow features limbs that curve with the unsettling precision of a spider's legs. The wood is cold to the touch and smells faintly of damp peat and ozone. Its string is a thick, shimmering cord of multi-stranded giant spider silk. The accompanying arrows are carved from the same dark grain, tipped with obsidian heads and fletched with pale, translucent web-fiber.
