Winter's Shadow

An adept archer, at home in the snow. A true Shadow can shoot while on skis or on foot, and they prefer yew-wood for their bows. They learn the importance of camouflage early in their training, and whole companies of Shadows have been known to sit silently in the snow for days at a time. A Shadow’s unique mastery of shields and other weapons makes them stand out from other archers. The bows of the Winter’s Shadows may not shoot the furthest, but their battle, survival, and skirmisher skills are impressive; especially for an archer.
