First appearance: Skypiercer Part 2
The Oathbow, first called the Oathbringer, is the bow of the Grandmaster. It began as a family heirloom passed to an exile with a grudge against The Shadow King. It came through her war against him burnt and cracked, and centuries later she still draws it from her throne when something needs to show itself.
Description
The Oathbow is a long, ornate golden bow. Before it was Elusia’s, it belonged to her mother. Elusia bound the weapon to herself with her own blood and swore an oath on it.
During the Season of Fate, a bow called “the Grandmaster’s bow” showed off some remarkable tricks. It could shape-shift into whatever its wielder wanted. It also made its holder land devastating critical blows more often, permanently. Its new owner found it handy as a giant can opener.
History
The bow came to Elusia during the events of Skypiercer. A chest bearing the insignia of her father, Faucius Golden Shield, had been smuggled out of The Dread Fortress, and it held three gifts. The golden longsword Defender, also called Groundbreaker, went to Atalantos. Agdrel’s twisted black staff, Life Stealer, went to Kaja, with a warning from Elusia: “It is dangerous and it speaks things.” The last gift was the Oathbringer, her mother’s bow, and Elusia kept it for herself. She bound it with her blood and swore an oath to defeat the Shadow King.
Elusia kept that oath, but the bow paid a price. By the end of Skypiercer Part 3 (finale), it was burnt and cracked.
The bow appeared again in S3E17, Season 3 Finale - Soot Mustam v Huey Leatherface, the night Soot Mustam and Huey Leatherface fought. Late in the evening the Grandmaster stood on her throne, drew the Oathbow and commanded:
“Show yourself.”
In the Season of Fate, the bow made a strange appearance during S5E12 — Imitation Game — Kopy Katt v Ragu. The Box of Chaos rumbled and flipped open into a pillar of yellow and pink flame. Floating in the air above it was the Grandmaster’s bow. Kopy Katt claimed it in the fight against Ragu. With a weapon that could become anything she liked, she used it as a giant can opener.
