History
These crossbows were created sometime long before the late 14 century DR by the ingenious inhabitants of New Mardale to be used against an evil enchanter. The story claimed that the woman who weaved magics into these crossbows was inspired after witnessing a beautiful unicorn at the edge of town. She created spells that represented the celestial creature's purity and defense and enchanted the first crossbows of the unicorn.
