The lethal range weapon of the Azmaran Empire, also known as the ‘black rain of death’.

A distinct type of composite crossbow, often short and reflexed, with a pronounced curve for added power. Constructed from three primary materials: yew or ash wood core, mountain goat horn for compression layers, and treated ox sinew for tension backing, with a lethal range of 60-75 meters. Typically, they were designed for quick shooting, with a groove to insert an arrow-bolt, which suited their role in rapid raids and battles. Pugat is renowned for its effectiveness in both mounted and foot archery.
