Lore

“

A bow-bendin' bard, are ye? That's a rare sight in this day an' age. Well, I happen to know jus' the weapon for ye.
But tell me, have ye ever heard the word “Godsbow”? 'Tis an epithet what's given only to virtuosos of the bow.
The first archer to be called such was one Gilbert, a man who lived durin' Gridania's fledglin' days. Legend goes he slew seven Ixali chieftains with a single arrow.
And if that weren't impressive enough, they say the lucky sod was blessed with the voice of a bleedin' angel to boot. On account of which, he had a bow 'specially crafted to be weapon and instrument both.
This tool of musical murder was called the Artemis Bow, an' for long years it was locked away in one of the fastnesses of the Gods' Quiver for safekeepin'.
Alas, some while ago, said fastness was overrun by the Ixal, who struck from above in their war balloons. They gave the place a thorough ransackin', an' took the relic with 'em back to Natalan.
If ye can but retrieve the Artemis Bow─even a part of it─we'd be well on our way to restorin' yer relic.

— Gerolt, when asked to restore a weapon for a Bard.

But what's done is done...or in this case, not done. Anyroad, let's talk about that text ye brought. It contains the complete works of Gilbert the Godsbow, the great archer-bard.
Porin' over the tome, I couldn't help but wince at the man's prudish bloody rhymes. There weren't a bawdy ballad among 'em! But personal preferences aside, I was able to track down the information we're after.
The final pages contain what appears to be the Godsbow's commentary regardin' the finer points of performance.
The man wrote that the weather─heat, humidity, an' what have ye─greatly affects an instrument's timbre.
An' the same's true for bows─they're more or less flexible, see, which can be the difference between an arrow in yer enemy's eye, an' one stuck in the ground half a yalm in front of him.
For this reason, Gilbert had tunin' pins installed on his weapon-cum-instrument. This much was written in the text.
Truth be told, I thought the bloody things were jus' elaborate riggin' for the strings. Who'd've thought ye could learn summat useful from a book of verse, eh!?

— Gerolt, regarding literature on Gilbert the Godsbow.
