Long Bow

A two-handed projectile weapon that launches arrows by storing and releasing tension through a flexible, elongated frame, often reinforced and enhanced through arcane enchantment. Produced by Elysian Greens, these bows are grown or crafted from specialized biological materials, resulting in durable and responsive structures suited to modern use. The platform is simple in function and difficult to modify, offering low base maintenance and purchase cost, though reliance on specialized arrows can increase long-term expense. The long bow rewards operator precision and physical control, translating user skill directly into performance, while maintaining above-average effective range for a weapon of its class.

“Grow, old root, beneath the light,
Drink the deep and hold it tight.
Bend, but never break nor tire,
Feed on soil and sun and fire.

Hear our hands, unarmed, unshod,
We ask no steel, we ask no rod.
Grant a limb both strong and true,
That we may shape, but not undo.

When it falls, we take with care,
Leave our thanks within the air.
What is given, we will tend,
Bow and bearer, branch and friend.”
