It is said that lightning never strikes the same place twice. To the creators of Tweistak, however, such a statement is blatantly false. The story of the bow starts with a coven of Witch Archon, desperately seeking shelter from a violent thunderstorm ravaging the local’s fields of Anglian grain. Their haste to find cover led them to a small shack, nestled at the base of a hill topped with a sprawling maple tree. Unease festered in the exhausted group as they wondered if they would be caught in the destructive path of rapidly consuming fires- only for a deafening BOOM to rattle the windows of their ramshackle sanctuary. One Witch called out to the others, quickly pointing to the maple tree visible- only for a second resounding CRACK to echo with a flash of lightning. The maple’s canopy had been struck not once, but twice- only for more claps of thunder and lightning to assault the towering tree. By the end of the storm, the tree had been hit by lightning over seven times, yet still managed to stand tall in the aftermath. Awestruck, the coven took such a display of mercy and power as a sign of Regulus, whom they believed helped redirect the lightning and protect them from destruction. Years later when the tree fell, the same coven of Witch Archon sought to use the lightning-scarred maplewood to craft an extension of such a display, resulting in the artifact Tweistak.
