Longbow



A  is a type of bow that is tall (roughly equal to the height of the person who uses it); this will allow its user a fairly long draw, at least to the jaw. A longbow is not significantly recurved.

It allowed a faster rate of fire than crossbow, but it was more difficult to keep at the ready, or in wet weather.

The Bristol Academy taught archery with the longbow.

The following characters had more or less proficiency with this weapon:
 * Guardian Calvin Rames
 * Lord Charles Norwit, although he preferred a crossbow
 * Brianna Barter: as Bellany Norwit, she used a longbow to to break up the attack of bandits on the way to the Vargrend Academy
 * Leaf Windwhisper was the Bristol Academy longbow champion in 724
