Moongift +3 banishing blessed composite longbow
A barely visible bead of light slowly traces the outline of this weapon and a glow emanates from within as if the bow is made of glass.
Little is known about Moongift and it lay undisturbed and buried with its last owner for over 8000 years.
Faerine Moonfinder was a ranger and scout for the elves of the Wealdath and a guardian of the tombs of Myth Rhynn. During the crown wars of the era, the city would become full of the fallen and Faerine felt each death like a dagger to the heart. After a particulary bloody skirmish where she had no choice but to put down her brothers and sisters of the wood, she retired to the deep woods in a terrible depression with the intention to take her own life. She waded into a clear lake under the light of the moon in an attempt to drown herself and prayed to the moon to take her soul and forgive her acts. As she sunk to the depths, she saw a strange light at the bottom of the lake and reached out for it. She could not reach it though and sunk even further, her mind now off of her desire to die but now upon the strange object at the bottom of the lake. Then, with her last strength, she reached the object – a slender and elegant bow of glass pulsing with holy energy. As her fingers wrapped about it, she was filled with the joy and warmth of the good gods and then she realised what a terrible mistake she had made. But it was too late. The water filled her lungs and she drowned.
But the gods of the moon were not done with her. The fingers of moonlight reached into the lake and lifted her from the cold waters, the bow still grasped in her hands.
She was laid upon the shore and fey came and wrapped her in a blanket of moss. The bow pulsed with heavenly light and Faerine took a shuddering breath as life was returned to her.
She saw that the gods had spared her for a reason and took the bow as a gift from the moon. She dedicated her life to the good gods from then on knowing that her life was over and that her body was now but a tool of the gods.
Such was her service that when she died, she was given a tomb in the city that she defended and a statue erected in her honour.
The details of her death unknown but is thought she lived for over a thousand years.
