Arquebus

Matchlock firearms of high power and fair accuracy, arquebuses are prized for their ability to penetrate wizards’ Arcane Veils.

Roasting a distinctive long barrel, Long-Feller was the property of a Readceran vorlas farmer, who used it largely to keep his fields clear of birds and rodents. Years of practice and careful adjustments to the arquebus made it a weapon to be reckoned with, for the farmer could pick off a songbird mid-chirp at twenty paces. With the coming of the Saint’s War, the farmer carried this same gun into battle, where it proved similarly effective.

A charismatic yet nefarious Vailian thief grew tired of stealing and decided to find a new way to entertain himself. He would get hired onto a ship and integrate himself with the crew. After a few voyages, he’d convince the crew to mutiny, making sure to execute the captain with his own arquebus. Once the deed was done, he would abandon the crew to their fate at the next port and slip away, traveling to a new city to start the game again.
