The Eagle's Claw.
The Eagle Claw Bolt Thrower, or the Repeater Bolt Throwers are elegant repeating ballistas used extensively by the armies of the High Elves and their sea-faring fleets.
Overview[]
Eagle Claw bolt throwers are particularly vicious weapons, specially designed by the Elves for sea warfare. The 6-foot long bolts are made from meteoric iron, honed by the finest craftsmen and blessed by the greatest of mages. The bolt throwers are enchanted to to magically accelerate their projectiles to incredible speeds, sending them hurtling towards their targets before ploughing into the enemy.[2a]
The Lothern Sea Guard are particularly efficient in the use of these well-crafted bolt-throwers, that not only play pivotal roles upon the battlefield, but also bristle from the sides of Ulthuan's warships and the battlements of her fortresses.[1a]
Eagle Claws can be found not only in Lothern, but throughout the Ten Kingdoms. The Bolt Thrower's canny design allows its crews to alternate fire modes at need: it can loose single shots capable of disembowelling a rampaging Giant, or clutches of six lesser bolts to mow down massed infantry before they reach the High Elf lines. Such is the skill of its Sea Guard crew, and the speed with which they reload, that only seconds separate one deadly volley from the next.[1a]
A more compact version of the Eagle Claw is known as the Eagle Eye Bolt Thrower, which is still capable of punching through Dragon scale. Eagle Eyes are utilized by Lothern Skycutters.[1b]
