Duskwood Longbow

Duskwood is a smooth, hard wood named for the eerie appearance of its tightly-spaced grooves, which give it a dusky coloration. Duskwood is nearly as hard as steel and quite light. Duskwood weapons are extremely well-balanced and often bite deeper than even a steel blade.

Elven Court Bow

This yew bow is more a work of art than a weapon of war. Fine engravings dance over the polished wood, and the bowstring gleams of gold, almost singing when drawn. Once thought a unique and singular example of elven craftsmanship, this theory was discarded when scholars verified half a dozen identical bows in the ruins of Myth Drannor.

North Wind Bow

These bows seem primitive at first glance, but behind the crude sinew and hide is a powerful weapon. They are most often found in the far North, but unfortunately, they are also most often found in the hands of a devotee of Auril, the Icemaiden. Most observers will get a good look at the point of the arrows before ever seeing the bow.

Ripper

This longbow was one of many made by a half-elven craftsman whose name has been lost to history. At one time there were several hundred in use by scouts who patrolled the Anauroch desert, but many have been lost or destroyed. Only a few are still known to exist, and these are highly prized and rarely find their way to the open market.

Taralash

Taralash was a skilled hunter renowned for his ability to track down even the fleetest of quarry by foot; few animals ever escaped once he had them in the sights of one of his mighty longbows. On his deathbed, when asked of his amazing hunting accomplishments, Taralash replied with honesty that "any man can bend a blade with his hands, but a thinking man uses the forge; these longbows are that forge."

Tearsdale Bow

This longbow, named for a nearby village where it was first discovered, has unfairly earned a reputation of being cursed or evil simply because of the bow was discovered lying atop an ancient stone altar. Nothing about the weapon's abilities suggest that it was crafted with any sinister purpose in mind, however.

Zalantar Longbow

Zalantar, called “blackwood” in the North, is a very strong, lightweight wood that ranges from dark chestnut to nearly black. Zalantar trees are found in sub-tropical regions, but the immense utility of their wood means that Zalantar lumber is exported all over Faerûn. Arcane energies seem to flow easily through zalantar wood, and many blackwood items are also magically enhanced.
