Blightbringer

Blightbringer is a very rare, lightly enchanted (+1) special variant of the Shortbows family of weapons. It is a simple ranged weapon that's wielded with both hands.

Conducting a series of increasingly sick rituals - involving the ashes of a gnome and silkworms fed fat on the corpse of a dwarven cleric - the goblin shaman Kirruk Redrats created this deadly bow.
