+The Long Bow 'Belthronding'
+ The great bow of Beleg, made of black yew and strung with elven hair that
+ faintly shines a pale clear gold.
+
+The Long Bow of Bard
+ The great yew bow of grim-faced Bard, who shot the mightiest arrow that
+ songs record.
+
+The Light Crossbow 'Cubragol'
+ A crossbow that grants fiery speed to he who finds it, and from which
+ shoot bolts that blaze with flame unquenchable.
+
+The Sling of the Thain
+ This sling was crafted by Faramir I, Thain of the Shire, just in case the
+ nasties of his father's stories ever dare to enter the Shire again.
+
+The Sling of Farmer Maggot
+ This ordinary seeming leather sling has been raised to legendary status
+ amongst generations of hobbit children. Farmer Maggot's ability to notice
+ and strike any mushroom thief anywhere within his patch almost keeps young
+ poachers at bay, but once they get within range they soon flee for less
+ painful pastures, frequently with rounded pebbles stinging their
+ backsides...
+
+The Heavy Crossbow of Umbar
+ A great brazen arbalest with arms of gleaming steel, shooting quarrels
+ with speed and power for those brave enough to risk betrayal.
+
+The Short Bow of Amrod
+ This bow, and its twin, belonged to Feanor's last two twin sons, Amrod and
+ Amras, who both hunted with the Green-elves for a time. Like the twins,
+ the bows are similar, for both protect their wielders from the elementsand
+ strength, while the other gives quickness and subtlety.
+
+The Short Bow of Amras
+ This bow, and its twin, belonged to Feanor's last two twin sons, Amrod and
+ Amras, who both hunted with the Green-elves for a time. Like the twins,
+ the bows are similar, for both protect their wielders from the elementsand
+ subtlety, while the other gives endurance and strength.
+
+The Light Crossbow of Brand
+ The bow of Brand, last King of Dale. It was given to him as a gift by the
+ King under the Mountain of Erebor, and has access to an especially secret
+ realm of Dwarven lore.
+
+The Seeker Arrow of Bard
+ Deadliest of arrows, imbued with elemental strength, this shaft is feared
+ especially by the wyrmkin.
+
+The Seeker Arrow of Gondor
+ An arrow that was created to rid the world of demons.
+
+The Seeker Bolt of Feanor
+ Made during the war against Morgoth by Feanor, this powerful bolt is the
+ bane of Morgoth's power, and has especial strength against those foes who
+ are already dead.
+
+The Silver Bolt 'Dailir'
+ The beloved dart of Beleg Cuthalion. It never failed to be found unharmed,
+ until it broke when Beleg fell upon it while he was carrying Turin
+ Turambar away from an Orc-camp, the night Beleg met his end. Turin remade
+ the bolt and kept it to his dying day in memory of his friend.
+
+The Metal Boomerang of Beor
+ Beor's boomerang makes its wielder as agile as the winds, and as hard to
+ harm.
+
+The Metal Boomerang 'Glimdrir'
+ A powerful boomerang that makes one agile and fast, with a thirst for evil
+ and undead creatures, but demands its wielder not teleport, for fear of
+ desertion.
+
+The Long Bow of Legolas
+ The great bow of Legolas, one of the Nine Walkers of old. Handcrafted specially
+ for Thranduil's son in Lothlorien, this bow gives clarity of sight and agility
+ to the wielder.
