Knight's Mithril Pistol gleams in the lamplight, a slender shaft of pale metal that seems to breathe frost as you turn it in your hand. The barrel is a flawless, cool cylinder of mithril, etched with a lattice of runes that catch and slow the glow of the room. A crest—two crossing spears behind a knight’s helm—is lovingly inlaid along the length, though time has softened the lines to a whisper. The grip is wrapped in worn brown leather, stitched with brass thread that gleams when you grip the pistol just so, as if the metal itself were listening for a whispered command. The hammer rests like a small, patient hinge, and the trigger guard curves in a practiced arc, ready to cradle a finger that’s learned to be exact, to wait for the moment it matters most. It feels lighter than its bearing would suggest, a paradox of design and history, and when you squeeze the trigger you can almost hear the fate of a caravan shift in the air—like a distant bell calling a lost traveler home. This pistol is no mere weapon; it’s a story you can hold, a relic of a knightly order that once rode the mountain passes to protect merchants and mules laden with salt and flour. Forged in the old hill-forges where mithril dust glowed like a frozen star, it was presented to a captain who stood at the head of a guard caravan during a siege that deafened the valley with wind and fear. The weapon’s engravings tell that tale—slender lines that seem to map a route through winter, the hint of banners fluttering under a storm-gray sky. Some say the pistol’s runes glow faintly when danger is near, as if the knightly oath stitched into its metal remembers every oath-taker who has guarded a road against looters and rumor. It’s the kind of artifact you might imagine strapped to a courier’s saddle, a quiet guardian that speaks not in noise but in the long, patient arc of a well-placed shot. In the world of play, Knight's Mithril Pistol is valued for its precision and its ability to weave into a skirmish narrative as easily as a legend threads through tavern talk. It rewards careful timing, the way a channeled shot can open space for teammates, or puncture a guard’s rhythm just enough to force a retreat or a pivot. Its mid-range reach suits the hit-and-run tempo that many light infantry and pistol-wielders favor, letting you press your advantage without sacrificing the mobility that keeps you alive when the road grows narrow and the torchlight grows thin. Every shot feels part of a larger march—the knight’s oath carried from forge to battlefield to market, a reminder that even a single pistol can bind a caravan’s memory to a city’s future. Market days bring the scent of leather and oil to the road, and the Saddlebag Exchange serves as a beat in that larger drum. There, a traveling dealer greases his scales with care, weighing scarcity against desire, and the Knight’s Mithril Pistol slides across his counter like a relic that found its rightful owner. The price hovers between coin and promise—sometimes a handful of silver, sometimes a small crescent of gold—and the stall’s chatter is a chorus about provenance and care. Buyers trade stories as much as metal, offering rare components or a trusted service in exchange for the chance to keep this pistol’s legend alive. And so the Knight’s Mithril Pistol passes from one pair of hands to the next, a new chapter stitched into the old one, as the road keeps moving and the order of the knights keeps watch.
