A plain 'letter' arrives at last for Recluta Orlando. When opened it magically unfurls as illusions fall away revealing it to be an ornate catalogue. Small artisanal depictions attach to a list of exotic and expensive weapons.

Recluta Orlando Otisopse,

Here is your requested catalogue. I have restricted it to wares that I assess the Banda Rossa will find useful. I have also restricted it to goods relatively easy to produce within the Well with its available resources. It is categorized for your reading pleasure. Prices vary based on size of order, availability of material, and complexity of fulfillment process. These are best discussed in person. You additionally have an apology for the amount of time this took to compile. Translating Gnomish is difficult.

Munitions

Ammunition for existing weaponry.
a.) Hexed Grapeshot
Cursed grapeshot laden with hexes. Each piece of fragmentation carries an individual curse. Curses persist until contact is made. This can be used to create impromptu field hazards to slow enemy advances.
b.) Sunstones
Catapult or cannon ammunition designed to superheat on impact. Becomes hot enough to turn sand into glass.
c.) Seeking Projectiles
Ammunition of all kinds enchanted to adjust course for where your target will be located in the future. Incredible accuracy.

Defensive Installations
Items under this category are generally low mobility or most effective stationed in a specific location. They are inconvenient to move.
a.) Dazzler Arrays
Systems of mirrors, lenses, and enchantments that create artificially bright lights that can be projected in specific directions. Blinding to look at. Compare to trying to look into the sun.
b.) Stellar Accumulators
Pulls starlight down from the skies to the device to recharge itself to fire the next shot. Faster, more accurate, and causes more harm than a arbalest. Requires line of sight behind its targets to the horizon. Notably, this device pulls its projectile to the 'firing' aperture. Excellent for annihilating flying targets.
c.) Solar Incarnation Generator
Device incarnates the power of the Sun. Users marked with standardized protective wards or markings are unharmed, potentially even bolstered by the device. Unauthorized individuals in the field evaporate expeditiously.

Offensive Installations
These items are high mobility and relatively easy to set up out in the field. They are excellent for use in siege or deployed against enemy armies.
a.) Lunar Cannons
Produce focused beam of draining light that penetrates through many warriors. It usually does not directly kill but instead leave numerous crippled who require expensive restorative magics to heal. Requires overnight charging. Full moons additionally required for maximum efficiency.
b.) Flashfields
Compare to traditional hidden explosives embedded in the ground triggered by pressure. These do not burst in a traditional detonation but instead in flensing light that blinds and degloves trespassers. Useful for denying access through canyons or other similar locations.
c.) Portable Warding Projectors
Wheeled or mounted obelisks that project a field warding against curses, including some of those described here.

Deployables
Goods intended for active combat use.
a.) Bindbreakers
Spherical devices that when primed and thrown burst into dismissive magic, annihilating the enchantments that bind conjurations or beckoned creatures, either dismissing them entirely or allowing them to roam free and masterless.
b.) Fatebane Poison
Fumes, traditionally delivered by incendiary canister, that cling to the ground and hexes the timelines of the exposed. Misfortune comes quickly. Everything that can go wrong does. Contamination is persistent until properly cleansed both on region and affected. Usually does not immediately kill, though through bad luck can cause several asphyxiations.
c.) Spatial Length Distortion Devices
Enchanted explosive satchels. Set in a destination and remotely activate. These do not explode in a material fashion and instead 'explode' space, stretching the Disc. Survivors in the radius are unlikely or are quick to die if not put out of their misery. Compare results on terrain and targets to a ball of yarn being unwound and pulled tight. These devices are also called 'stretchers.'

Yomar,

Gratitude for the Catalog. I have reviewed it and near all of this looks potentially worthy for what is to come.

I will see it delivered to the Balestriere and one of them will be in touch if we move forward on such project.
