A zinkall ,plural zinkallin, is a ranged weapon used by Daysiders on Taldain. They are powered by air pressure.[1] A zinkall looks like a set of thin reed-like pipes held together with rope mounted on the forearm, near the wrist. Each tube contains a small arrow, that can be launched by the wielder of the zinkall by pulling a trigger above the pipes, releasing the air and firing the arrow. The arrows usually have green fletching on the back of their shafts. The exact range of a zinkall is unknown. Zinkallin are common weapons on Dayside. They are seen used by Kerztian warrior-priests, Lossandin trackts, and members of Sharezan's gang.[1] Tain gives Ais a defective zinkall before luring her into a trap.[2]
