Shadebane, the Longbow of Argynvost

The silver dragon known as Argynvost was undisputedly one of Strahd's greatest foes. As Strahd began the creation of Barovia word spread of a conquering dark lord. A man taking from the meek in the name of a foreign god. Soon Argynvostholt was founded and with it the Order of the Silver Dragon; going in Elven guise with the title of Lord Argynvost the silver dragon sought honorable knights of skill and power, revealed to them his identity and rallied them under his cause. As all before him and all to follow though, Strahd cast down the dragon and had his body butchered and taken with him to Ravenloft. This weapon was the tool of Argynvost's justice in his elven form and is a tool imbued with the powers of the great silver dragon.
