The Silencer (5e Equipment)

Some people believe they are descended from the creators of this bow, and therefore spend their entire life trying to find the location of the bow. None have succeeded so far, as it is buried in a location that no one has found, and it is guarded heavily. It is sought after by forces of darkness as well as forces of light, as they want to find out the source of its power and use it to make their own weapon of similar power. Random Properties.
