If there is a better archer in the Old
World than Rathiel Whitebow, that archer has kept his identity a secret. The
elf is a master of the longbow with few peers even amongst his own kin. He has
made the weapon the focus of his life, neglecting family, friends, or any other
loyalty.
His all-consuming arrogance is such that he
will never refuse a challenge of his skills. He will settle for mere target
shooting but prefers a duel of arrows. Because of this, Rathiel has killed at
least a half dozen men and elves over the last few years and wounded far more.
This has made his reputation as a highly dangerous outlaw.
Rathiel is on a quest. He is searching for
a legendary magical bow known only by the cryptic name The Song of Storms.
Whether this weapon is real or simply a product of Rathiel's obsession is
difficult to say. What is certain is that Rathiel broke into a bookseller's
shop in Brionne and since then has been seen trekking towards the Border
Princes. His exact destination remains uncertain to anyone but himself.
