Type Weapons
World of Origin Taldain

A zinkall is a ranged weapon used by Daysiders on Taldain. According to Kenton's comments when discussing guns, it might operate by air pressure. A zinkall looks like a set of thin pipes (going by the appearance, they might be reeds) mounted at forearm, near the wrist. Each tube contains an small arrow that can be launched by the wielder of the zinkall by a trigger above the pipes. The exact range of a zinkall is unknown.

While not widespread, zinkalls are used by both Kerztian warrior-priests and Lossandin trackts.[1]
