[sblock=OnlytheStrong]As promised, here is some detail about the history and first ritual connected to your bow
Hunter’s Shelter
This is a bright and finely crafted shirt of mithral. It was obviously made to minimize the impact on its wearer’s ability to move.
+1 Mithral Shirt, Cost 2,100 gp
Omen- Whoever puts this mithral shirt on notices that it is suddenly covered in a mottled pattern of greens and browns. Nobody else sees this pattern.
History—Thaellian d’Phiarlan, a bearer of the Mark of Shadow, was one of the best hopes his family had for even greater fortunes. Thaellian learned at an exceptionally early age how to sneak and spy. There are stories of him escaping from his nursery and finding his way into his father’s carefully warded study.
His parents, and others in the family, recognized his latent talents and spent many hours debating his future. The truth is, however, they needn’t have bothered. For while ‘Lian had a large share of the family talents, he had very little of the family obedience. As soon as he discovered the freedom offered by the forest and its innumerable places to hide and explore he knew that he would learn its secrets. He spent the next four decades sneaking out of lessons on politics and social graces and escaping into the woods around the family compound.
Eventually, as he neared the age of adulthood, his family members started increasing the pressure they placed upon him, hoping that he would learn maturity and responsibility. All it did, predictably, was drive him even further away, until one day he disappeared for good with little more than a shirt of fine mithril given to him by his father on his last nameday. (
DC 15)
Thaellian’s next appearance in most histories was during the Great Purge. He somehow wound up hired by the forces of the Silver Flame to track down were-beasts and other abominations against the purity of the Flame. On one of his first forays, Thaellian unknowingly lead a force of Silver Flame Templars into an ambush created by a band of were-wolves. The templars were wiped out, but Thaellian managed to escape the battle undetected.
Alive, but horrified at the cost of his failure, Thaellian reported back to his superiors in shame. They turned him out, convinced that he was either incompetent or a spy. With newfound determination he returned to the site of the ambush and followed the trail of the lycanthropes until he caught up to them. He then spent the next four months trailing the were-wolves and picking them off one at a time. He somehow managed to stay undetected through all of their efforts to find the source of their mounting losses. They set up elaborate traps for him, but all were in vain. Eventually he found only one set of tracks left, only one member of that original band of lycanthropes left alive. For the first time, Thaellian emerged from hiding and showed himself to his enemy. The were-wolf charged, only to find three silvered arrows buried in his chest and a silversheened sword bared and ready for him. Finally, the templars were avenged. (
