Breathtakers

The elite ranks of Warodan assassins who use bows known as "Skysplitters". The bows must be earned, and Breathakers-in-training do not have access to them.

The secret to the Breathtakers skill lies under their eyepatches. Generations ago, the Warodans realized the possible uses of the magic focusing power of barand spiral and began engraving it in the skin and eye. This art was mastered and has been unchanged for the last two hundred years. The Breathtakers have unparalleled skill in archery, and they are among the three known classes of archers that can take down a dragon in a single shot.

The Breathtakers also use an age-old ritual to claim an eye of a dragon, making them capable of shooting in the direction of the sun and giving them sight far superior to a human. They also use the best kept Warodan secret: the Teshara bow, a masterwork of technology they prize so much that all these bows are built with a self destruct acid vial within the mechanism.
