SPECIAL FEATURES
- Aetherium-Powered Draw Core – Enhances draw strength using built-up ambient energy, allowing the bow to launch arrows with devastating force.
- Songsteel Limbs – Light, flexible, and fully resistant to lightsabers and energy weapons.
- Harmonic Resonance Field – The bow produces a harmonic pulse when drawn, subtly disorienting Force users or droids with auditory processing.
- Wind-Split Channeling – Arrows fired from Shatterwind leave a faint ionized trail, disrupting electronic shielding or cloaking for a moment.
- Echo Pulse Arrow Option – Special Aetherium-forged arrows (if found) can emit a concussive blast on impact, acting like a low-yield sonic charge.
STRENGTHS
- Powerful, Silent, and Precise – Arrows strike with the force of modern slugthrowers, but without any sound except for the soft hum of the draw.
- Effective Against Tech & Force – Ionizing wind trails and resonance pulses help disrupt targeting systems and have a possibility to also disrupt Force users' sensory focus.
- Lightweight and Durable – The combination of Songsteel and Aetherium allows for incredible flexibility, durability, and ease of handling despite its size.
WEAKNESSES
- Requires Special Arrows – Only functions at full capacity with hand-crafted or relic-grade arrows (e.g. wind-forged shafts or Aetherium tips).
- Force-Brittle to Overuse – Prolonged overcharging of the Aetherium core can destabilize its harmonic field, causing recoil or weapon shutdown.
- Not Suited for Close Combat – The large size of the bow makes it nearly useless in melee range without a sidearm or retreat space.
- Highly Visible Signature – The ion trails left behind by arrows are easily traceable, compromising stealth at long distances.
DESCRIPTION
Shatterwind is a myth carried on the breath of mountain air and war songs—an artifact of the Air Dragon Kingdom of Sel'vahn, forged in the twilight of Kiev'ara's fall. Once wielded by the Windward Choir, a legendary unit of sky-archers sworn to protect the high cities from the Rakatan scourge, this warbow is one of the few surviving relics of their once-graceful aerial warfare.
The bow's frame is crafted from pure Songsteel, engraved with flowing glyphs that sing softly when drawn. At its heart lies a thin, reactive lattice of Crystallized Aetherium, woven like nerve and sinew through the limbs, amplifying the draw force with stored ambient energy. Arrows fired from Shatterwind can pierce even modern armor at great distances, each release punctuated by a ghostly tone—an echo of the sky's song before Kiev'ara froze in silence.
It is said that during the Siege of Sel'vahn, Shatterwind struck down three Rakatan airships from a mountaintop a mile away. When the wind turned black and the stars died over Kiev'ara, the archer entrusted the bow to the temple vaults, wrapping it in prayer-cloth and sky-silver.To draw Shatterwind now is to call upon memory, music, and grief—all bound to the will of a world that no longer breathes.
