Treesplitter

Another artifact this week, this time one created for the newest member of my current Exalted campaign. Treesplitter(Green Jade Power Bow, Artifact • • •) Treesplitter was made from the living heart of an ancient Jadewood, a rare and sacred Elemental tree that grows above green Jade deposits and infuses the Jade into its wood. The tree was shattered during a fight between Immaculate monks of the Wyld Hunt and an Anathema in the Far East. Ultimately, the Anathema perished when she was thrown against the tree with shattering force. To honor the Elemental, the Immaculate Monks took the heart of the tree and forged it into a mighty bow to be used by the Hunt. Treesplitter has one hearth stone socket set above the bow's handgrip.
