Ser Draconis: (sounding pleased by the subject) Weapons indeed have a place in history. My dragon bone sphere, carved from the remains of a legendary beast , stands as a testament to thy valour and honour.

Lord Preen: allow me to introduce my masterwork, a handcrafted clockwork bow. A masterpiece that combines precision and speed perfect for a nobleman of my standing.
