Gilded Leather Quiver (Kellanar)
Gilded leather interwoven delicately so as if to give it the illusion of being metal makes up the halo of this quiver. The knot work continues down the shoulder strap in a tightly knit fashion which can be adjusted via a strap at the bottom so as to fit any wearer's stature. The leather of the quiver itself has been cast into russet crimsons, oranges, and some hints of dusky violet as if caught from a sunset sky. A half-crescent moon instead of a sun floats amidst the center, emanating a brilliant light with a short dagger pierced into its center.
The quiver has been enchanted so as to provide a ready arrow to hands reaching to seize one. It also seemingly weighs nothing, no matter how packed with ammunition it may be.

Bow and Arrows (Faber)
Bow

Long sweeping arcs of carved wood have been shaped in to a bow-like structure. Fine channels have been carved throughout the rolling patterns of wood, inlaid with shining malachite. The polished finish reflects soft fragments of light, depicting warped figures in the burnished surface; the images are long, lanky, and ghostly. The black malachite catches pinpointed light in a dazzling array, mimicking the stars of the night. The lustrous Cherrywood bow features small hooks of malachite set in to each end which have been strung with fine strands of sinew from the wing of a fallen being, dried and magically enchanted. The deep red of the ligament offsets the soft red and deep brown tones of the wood, complementing the varied strains of colour. The tips of the bow have been capped with malachite; the placement of the stones give the bow tips an illusion of a liquid surface, leaving a metallic finish upon the black stone.

Arrows

Ethereal tendrils of smoke surround the slim and unobtrusive shaft of this stone arrow. The rod is as slim as the pupil of an eye, trimmed with stiffened membrane of a fallen angel’s wing. The wisps of enchanted mist lick hungrily at the malachite bar of stone, forming its own sharpened point with a ghostly haze. The arrowhead has been tipped with a small fragment of platinum, sharpened by the constant beating of a mallet. The arrow is very light in the hand, the shaft itself only as long as a human’s forearm, though the wisps of smoke surrounding the arrow in a wraithlike manner are constantly moving, growing with the touch of a diabolic soul.

Raven’s Wing Leather Arm Guard (Yves)
%xh%xxRaven's Wing Leather Arm Guard%xn%r%r%tIntended for use in archery, this is a single arm gauntlet made from embossed black leather. It looks like a raven's wing, outspread to cover the forearm from wrist to just beyond the elbow, inside and out. On the inside, it is fitted from wrist to a little bit before the elbow, wrapping around the limb and closing with round leather buttons and leather loops that may easily be fastened with one hand. On the outside of the forearm, however, the leather is stiffer and there is an extra, thicker layer of the material. It is cut in such fantastic detail that every shaft and vane of the raven wing's pinion feathers is clearly discernable. The tip of the wing extends stiffly away from the wearer's arm, passing a few inches beyond the elbow. A truly beautiful piece of craftsmanship, with form as well as function.%r
