A grandbow is an incredibly powerful bow created by attaching an augmenter fabrial to a large bow.[1]
Functionality
The bows are about as tall as a man and have a heavy enough draw-weight that only someone wearing Shardplate are able to fully draw it.[1] This has led to some calling them Shardbows. The fabrial ensures that the metal of the bow does not warp under the stress of being drawn. The arrows used with a grandbow are as thick as a three fingers, and quite long.
History
Grandbows were designed by Alethi artifabrians led by Navani Kholin during the War of Reckoning.[1] They were often used during chasmfiend hunts to injure the creatures before the hunters moved in for the final kill. In 1173, Highprince Torol Sadeas used a grandbow to attack the chasmfiend that surprised the Alethi during a hunt, while Highprince Dalinar Kholin as well as Adolin and King Elhokar attacked it with their Shardblades.[2]
