This shortbow is made from the living wood of Yggdrasil the Worldtree. Vibrant vines and flowers run along its limbs. It comes with a special quiver, made from living birch bark. This quiver grows an endless supply of mundane arrows, tipped with large thorns and fletched with thin golden leaves. This bow was made by Skadi from young branches from the top of Yggdrasil, and she gifted it to her husband Uller on their wedding day. When the need of Uller's champions is at its greatest, he sometimes lends his bow to them.
You have a +3 bonus to attack and damage rolls with this weapon. In addition, its attacks deal an extra 7 (2d6) piercing damage and deal a critical hit on a 19. The quiver also contains four special arrows. Each of these arrows can be fired once per day as an attack, and they regrow at dawn. The arrow that corresponds to the current season can also be drawn and shot normally. This attack has advantage and deals an extra 28 (8d6) damage, but does not trigger the seasonal effect.
