Anarea > Shops > Bowyer & Fletcher
You will find a bowyer and a fletcher in most country market towns. In larger towns and cities, you may find a combined bowyer's and fletcher's shop, or an armourer may stock bows and arrows (as is the case in Fort Venture and Dwarf Hold). Crossbows are not usually available from small-town bowyers, but can usually be obtained from armourers in the more civilized areas.
Prices and availability may vary locally, but the following are typical.
The bowyer and fletcher will be pleased to discuss special commissions, at additional cost.
