Windbreaker is a longbow of unparalleled craftsmanship, made from the branch of the Great Oak of Oakheart. Created by the master blacksmith Olof Beardloaf with the aid of an enigmatic stranger using ancient druidic magic, this bow embodies the essence of the natural world. The bowstring is woven from a cord of vines and thorny branches, and the bow itself is adorned with intricate carvings of leaves, vines, and animals. It is whispered that the archangel Chorian played a part in its creation.

Forged from the branch of a thousand-year-old oak tree and imbued with druidic magic, the bow is a symbol of the deep connection between the natural world and the divine.
