A Gauntlet, a Bow and a Quiver.



Vandallan had taken kindly to a group of people that looked to help save the Free people from a threat they could not face alone. One of the individuals, known as Nethrida had just recently had her cast taken off, and Vandallan thought he'd make her a bracer, not only to stabilize her arm in the battle to come but to protect her as well. Soon before he knew it he was also making her a bow and a quiver to accompany it. Overly generous has he always been.

 

The Gauntlet was made of fine leathers, two sheets of it laced a protective inner layer of treated oak wood. On either side of the wood was thin steel plates for added protection. Within the cuff was some soft fur, Just warm enough for winter, but cool enough for summer if needed. It featured two slots in the inside of the cuff to hold two small throwing knives, which Vandallan included. They were easily concealed and practically razor sharp. The Bracer was decorated with some leatherwork, you could just barely make out some of the Lorien-Tree-esque markings that riddled it.

The bow was of yew, and while not precisely the most masterfully crafted it flexed well, and the weight of the bowstring when pulled would not wear and tear at the stamina of the user. It featured burned etchings of vines in a variety of patterns.

The quiver was simple enough as it was, it had enough room to hold twenty arrows as it were.

Inside of the crate was a note that read:

We face a terrible peril, and I know how willing you are to fight even after being harmed as you were. You are fit to hold this gauntlet, to wield this bow, and I hope these serve you well."
