Entry for the Icon Contest #21

For generations, humans have fought. The bow has been, and still is, one their deadliest ally on the battlefield.
The bow has evolved, been improved upon, and been enchanted and still compete to this day with dwarven technology.




Tier 1: The Long Bow


The long bow has been a pivotal point in the human war history. Its range and power make it a deadly weapon capable of wiping an army before it has a chance of getting close.

Tier 2: The War Bow

Stronger and more resilient, the war bow is a better version of the long bow, capable of reaching further with higher destructive power.

Tier 3: The Eagle Bow

Limited by the bow technology, the humans turned to other improvements using magic. After much testing, it has be found that a combinaison of the war bow technology, enchantments and parts of magical beasts would greatly improve the bow performance.
The eagle bow is using feather from magical eagle that give the weapon a greatly superior range and precision.

Tier 4: The Angelic Bow

Developed by the Silver Hand, it is said that this bow is created using angel feathers. Rumors say that the stronger the archer faith is in the Light, the deadlier his weapon will be against its enemy. Many swear that the undead run away whenever they spot an angelic bow on the battlefield, in vain.

While the materials and enchantments are a bit of a mystery and subjects to many rumors, its efficiency has been proven.

For some reason they remind me of Diablo bows although those are fully visible.
It's an interesting touch to have the tiers change colour however, I feel blue is quite out of context overall. Of course their description could say otherwise when proper. An example would be having a sort of water and its forms based bow series where one is ice empowered, another water and another air.
