Description
Elite scouts, hunters and skirmishers have used these bows since humans first learnt to stalk their prey through the woods and across the snow and the grassland. They take their name both from their use by rangers, trappers and pioneers who spend long periods of time in untracked wilderness, and from the elite battlefield archers who use them to solve problems by delivering sudden death with pinpoint accuracy to their foes.
In the League a wayfinder is most commonly called a waymaker, referring both to its us in solving problems and from the tendency of opponents to get out of the way when threatened with a loaded crossbow.
In some parts of the Brass Coast, Freeborn bowyers plant a tree when a child is born. As the child ages they encourage the child to tend that tree, and when the tree and child are both ready, they craft a bow from the wood of the tree and enchant it as a wayfinder. The bond between tree and archer is strengthened over time, and is widely believed to result in bows that are ideally suited to the hand of the archer who wields them. A similar tradition was observed by the master crossbow makers of the League city of Holberg, but the hardwood groves they favoured were burnt when their territory fell under barbarian sway in 346 YE.
