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 are made from sandling carapace and 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]
