Saurian BowSmithing
"Bowsmithing, Fletching? Two completly different Arts."
Sir Antgi Reavag, Master Troodi Bowsmith.
Where all the other races would call it fletching, the process of creating bows, crossbows, arrows and bolts, the Saurideans have another process they call Bowsmithing. They have a distinct seperation between the two crafts, and for good reason.
Even compared to a Human Longbow, any Saurian Bow created through the bowsmithing process is of an extensively higher quality, and thats not just because of the rarer Materials the An'Mallian Alliance has excess to, its because of the hidden and secret processes going into it.
A bowsmithed bow is nearly unbreakable, no matter what type of bow is required, Bowsmithed bows can even be inlayed with crystals to assist users with inherent magicka!
The downside of this is that it takes a long time to create a bowsmithed bow, And they are highly regarded , bows, in Sauridea, can bring life ( hunting) entertainment ( sport) and protection ( warfare) and thus are well taken care off and a Bowsmithed bow is even more valuable to them.
