Here’s an archery-based art for the Wood Elves
Asrai/Eonir Archery (Wood Elf archery)
Asrai or Eonir Archery is the mystical archery of the Wood Elves. The Wood Elves are the most accomplished and deadly archers in the whole of the world. The Wood Elves know many secrets of how to make powerful bows from laminated strips of rare trees. The bowstrings are woven from the hair of Elf maidens. The flights of arrows are chosen from the feathers of particular birds to ensure accurate flight. The arrows are tipped with copper or delicately shaped from flint or obsidian. Wood Elf Archery is practiced by hunting beasts in the forests. In the dimly lit glades, the Asrai and Eonir hone their keen eyesight and acquire an amazing sureness of shot.

- Piercing Thorns:These deadly barbs are enchanted to pierce armor.
- Hagbane Tips: Fashioned from deadwood taken from the Glade of Woe, some of Morghur’s taint lingers still within these darts, a virulent and formless blight that shrivels and spasms. Even a scratch can prove fatal. Arrows tipped with Hagbane cause poison damage on a Mark or Superb result.
- Starfire Shafts: These arrows glow with an unnatural light and emit a piercing wail when they draw blood, chilling the soul of even the bravest warrior. When a starfire shaft inflicts a wound, it increases the obstacle of the resulting Steel test by one.
- Trueflight Arrows: There is a rudimentary sentience buried deep within these arrows, an awareness that causes them to seek the target unbidden. The practitioner may Glance Assess and Aim (+1D) while Knocking.
