Version 0.30: This article may not be up to date for the latest stable release of Crawl.
This bow was woven from the air itself by Eiolaiphi the air mage as a gift for one of the children of Uskayaw. The bow can be pulled with incredible speed, and it launches swift and true. It is also nearly indestructable, which is fortunate given that the original owner was ripped to pieces by jealous celebrants.
