This bow was woven from the air itself by Eiolaiphi the air mage as a gift for one of the children of Uskayaw. The bow can be pulled with incredible speed, and it launches swift and true. It is also nearly indestructable, which is fortunate given that the original owner was ripped to pieces by jealous celebrants.

+8 longbow

Speed brand
+3 dexterity
See invisible

Desirability

Zephyr^[1] is a near-perfect ranged weapon; it is a high enchantment longbow with a top tier brand and extra dexterity on top. In the extended game, you may prefer a triple crossbow or a weapon of holy wrath. Otherwise, it is an excellent artefact for ranged weapon users.

History

In 0.35, Zephyr will be reworked as a +12 long bow with the Salvo brand, +5 Dex, and Flight.
Prior to 0.20, this was known as the bow of Krishna "Sharnga".

 ==Desirability==
-'''Zephyr''' is a near-perfect weapon for anyone with a good [[Bows]] skill. Experienced archers may occasionally prefer a highly-enchanted [[longbow]] with the [[vorpal]] or [[holy wrath]] brand for dealing more damage per hit and taking out heavily armoured opponents, but a speed brand on a +8 longbow is an extremely effective combination against just about any target. Overall, a highly respectable weapon.
