This bow is made entirely of various body parts from numerous creatures. Fangs, claws, teeth, and bones can be seen interlocking throughout the weapon’s structure. While every inch looks sharp and dangerous to touch, it feels remarkably smooth and delicate in one’s hands. Though the bowyer’s identity is unknown, a master’s understanding of archery and an unsettling degree of expertise in bestial anatomy are readily apparent.

To hold Prey Maker is to bear the feeling of assured victory, as though the wielder’s attacks will find their way to the target as a predator finds its prey.

Lenas Êr (“Eagle Eye”) was the prize possession of a Glanfathan hunter from the infamous Three-Tusk Stelgaer tribe. As she never went anywhere without it, it was never truly determined whether the weapon’s accuracy owed more to her skill or that of its maker. She fought in the War of Black Trees and was driven out of cover by the fires—it’s said that her fear for Lenas Êr was so great, she charged headlong into a squadron of soldiers. Even so, she felled seven of them before they brought her down.

Passed down through an Enutanik tribe, this bow was believed to have been blessed by the gods, for every huntress to wield it always returned from the hunt having successfully downed at least one animal. Arrows fired from the bow, it was said, would find their way unfailingly to a vulnerable point and fell their target.

Rather than allow the bow to be possessed by a single person, the tribe considered it a gift to be shared among all its members. One young tribeswoman, however, coveted the bow and its power, believing she might rule her own tribe if only she had the weapon for herself. One day, when given use of Persistence for the day’s hunt, she endeavored to separate herself from her fellow hunters and left, taking the bow with her.
