Hunting Bow

The first fruits of the harvest taste different, dripping with anticipation and promise. The day Maeve Flynn shot her first deer with this bow, her uncles said she was a natural. Now, whenever her arrow fails to land, she prays her flesh doesn’t taste like disappointment.

The finesse of the Sinner’s fighting style is mirrored in their elegant armaments. The decoration of this recurve Bow makes it look like a weapon from a finer time, but its deadliness is assured as ever.

Quiet as a chill gust of wind heralding a hurricane, the snap of this bow's string ushers in the inescapable destruction of The Exile, finding her way home.

This hama yumi was to never leave The Miko’s family shrine. It has been cleansed by shooting a single arrow through the eyes of five birds: one raicho for each step into the shrine she took to reclaim the hunting bow.

The near silent strum of The Cowl’s Hunting Bow precipitates the grunts and gurgles of unceremonious death. It is the moment where all truths are laid bare, and even those with their third-eye open wide can see their futures rapidly dissipate.

Thousands of years after being sculpted, strung, and shot in honor of the Goddess Nekhbet, this relic has been polished and restrung as a Hunting Bow. But Nekhbet’s power lingers, guiding the arrows of this bow to shoot straight and true.

This Hunting Bow was once used towards the greater good, culling buffalo herds of the sick. When the bison were no more, Plains Warden shouldered this tool of mercy. Its twang rang again in Mammon’s Gulch, because is it not merciful to send the Corrupted back to hell?

Roaming Sage trained in the martial arts in Yecheon, a region known for skilled archers. Each arrow he shoots from this bow feels like a cost paid: one more threat contained, but one more pang of nostalgia.
