Simple Belt Knife

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This belt knife is simple and plain. It is about a foot long, with a two-inch wide blade that tapers slowly into a bluntish tip, though the edges of the blade are well honed. The hilt is curved to fit a hand, dull grey metal that then stretches out into a short handguard. Etched on the flat bottom is a single ornate V, this knife is the work of Valyr the smith. The sheath is bronze-rimmed blade wherhide, with a loop sewn in for attachment to a belt.

Longbow

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This longbow is made of finely polished dark yew. It is as tall as the average man when strung. It is circular in diameter and narrows as it nears each end. Meticulously sanded in the center of the bow is a handgrip. Looped around each end of the bow is the string, made of catgut--resistant to water and long lasting. The quiver is of stiff wherhide, made into a rounded rectangle. It is about two feet in length, with a six-inch width. The quiver is metal rimmed and the bottom is plated with bronze on the outside. Sixteen arrows are included, each thirty inches long. The arrows are identical, and precisely made. A scraped hardwood shaft provides most of the length, with four-inch long goosefeathers glued on as fletching. The arrowheads are three inches of gleaming steel, razor-edged with a keen point. Lightly etched on each point is a single small letter, an ornate V, signifying the work of Valyr the smith. The V is also carved on the handgrip of the bow.

Leather Rucksack

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Once-coarse hide has been successively hammered into the now velvety leather that constitutes this medium-sized, mahogany satchel. Wherhide thongs are interlaced throughout the material affecting the neck of the sack, allowing it to be strung closed. Scored around the sides is a continuous and complex pattern of knot-work, halted occasionally by miniature icons of firelizards posed in flight.
