Crossbow

Crossbows are ranged weapons which use the tension of a string to fire a bolt at a target. They were first used around 100 years BGS. Since then they have become popular weapons among nobility, sellswords, and the military. A crossbow's primary advantage over a bow is the fact that anyone can fire it with little training- just aim at the target and pull the trigger. Despite this, it is still not as widespread as the longbow due to the cost to create a crossbow and how long it takes to reload.

Crossbows were invented in Kasimar and are used by their royal guard and standing armies. The armies of Nubaka also extensively use the crossbow. Drowned make little use of them, as damp crossbows have limited effectiveness. Sharri do not use them as they believe weapons should derive their strength from the user, not the weapon itself.
