Eaglebow
This bow and its kin are most famously linked to Hannable the White and his defense of Gulthmere Forest. He and his men went to the aid of local dryads and defeated legions of orcs, forcing them to abandon their destructive plans. Those of Hannable's force who left the forest were paid with these bows, while those who remained with the grateful dryads received less tangible, but no less enjoyable, rewards.

This bow is one of several attempts to recreate the wondrous elven Oathbow, which stopped the rampage of Kaoltooth the Aged during the Year of the Dracorage, 1018 DR. Made by human hand and not as powerful as the original, a Lesser Oathbow is still a very effective weapon.

Phantom Bow
A small village of halflings found itself the target of an evil knight's greed for their gold. The crafty halflings crafted a series of bows that were able to create illusions, making it appear as if an entire army defended the village. Sadly, the observant knight eventually realized the ruse, and the halflings were driven away from their treasure.

Tansheron's Bow
In 1099 DR, scholars attempting to verify tales of Tansheron the lich found only his ramshackle keep and withered husk. Evidence suggested a long siege by at least four distinct groups of adventurers, a campaign that eventually wore down his defenses. Presumably weapons of this type were among the loot claimed. The thin, frayed string of this bow appears unusable, but when it is drawn a solid, invisible arrow becomes tangible.

Zalantar Shortbow
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.
