Bracers of the Mithral Legion
No shot can be wasted; if you want to live against the Horde, you break them quick.
Appearance
These stout drake's hide bracers each have an intricate inlay of a pair of crossed silvery battle axes, the symbol of Clangeddin Silverbeard, the Dwarven god of war. While the metal may appear to be silver at first glance, it is in fact mithral.
Mechanics
Wondrous Item, Rare, Requires Attunement
Grants a +2 damage on attacks made with any bow or crossbow. When the wearer misses an attack made with a bow or crossbow, they may immediately make another attack with the same weapon on the same foe. This ability recharges on a long or short rest.
History
These bracers were commissioned by Borlin, blood of Ghellin, Axe of the Iron House and commander of the Mithral Legion. Borlin bestowed these to the best snipers in the Legion, tasking them with eliminating the biggest and toughest foes in order to break morale. "No shot can be wasted; if you want to live against the Horde, you break them quick."
The Mithral Legion embarked on a quest to reclaim the lost Mines of Tethyamar. They were never heard from again, though legends say that they were slain to a man trying to reach the mines. Borlin himself was the last dwarf standing, falling within sight of the doors to Tethyamar.
