Palter Palter was a Netherese floating city . It was established in 1217 NY . As the archwizard who controlled this enclave , Halavar established the laws guided the city . One such law was that everyone had to use magic in one form or another . He encouraged all entrepreneurs , smiths , and business owners to train their workers in the use of cantra s . This aided the city ’ s inhabitants in creating one of the most magical of enclaves . His most famous device , Halavar ’ s universal pantograph , helped propel Palter into the forefront of magic use and availability , but it also caused Halavar a great number of enemies outside the enclave . Though he was an archwizard , he left most of the rule to the constables and an elected council of seven members . This allowed Halavar to spend the majority of his time entertaining children and young adults with puppeteering . He fled his city when a group of arcanists and priests entered Palter to kill him , escaping only to be killed by bandits who wanted his device . The pantograph was never found , but its whereabouts have been theorized to be to the west of Netheril . History . The Golden Age ( 1652 - 2653 ) . Halavar was believed to have left clues scattered around the city as to the location of his pantograph , and the Golden Age of Netheril was the treasure - seeking age for Palter . Arcanists and archwizards alike came into the city in droves , purchasing buildings thought to hold the key to the location of the pantograph and then demolishing them in their efforts to find the clues . No one did . The Age of Discovery and Beyond ( 2654 + ) . As if the freewheeling wizards weren ’ t enough to keep architects , stonemasons , and other workers busy , the ancient blue dragon Lightningdance careened into the city under cover of darkness each spring from 2714 until 2976 . Lightningdance never stopped to ravage the city , but instead breathed a trail of lightning across its streets on each visit , setting parts of the enclave aflame . A group of adventurers outsmarted Lightningdance in 2976 , killing the dragon mid - breath as he sought another surprise raid on Palter . When Netheril fell , the city of Palter crashed upon the rocks north of the Netheril River . The few survivors trudged their way south . Others went to find the other enclaves , but perished on the way .

Infravision Infravision was a type of vision that many non - human species had , in addition to " normal sight " , in Dungeons & Dragons and Advanced Dungeons & Dragons prior to version 3 . 0 of the game . In 3 . 0 and later , the ability was removed from the game and replaced with darkvision . The primary reason for the change was that , given its name , infravision implied that the creature detected the infrared spectrum of light resulting a variety of special considerations . Like darkvision , infravision allows a creature to see in complete darkness up to a set distance , though not in or through darkness that is magical in origin .

For a composite shortbow , the shaft is made from laminated materials ( again , horn , wood or bone ) and fashioned with a recurve , meaning the bow remains bow - shaped even when unstrung . A typical shortbow costs 30gp and weighs 2lbs ( 0 . 9kg ) . A composite shortbow costs around 75gp and weighs about the same . Weaponology . Unlike longbow s , shortbows may be used while mounted . Composite bows are stronger than normal bows and therefore can translate more of the archer ' s strength into range and damage . Bows require two hands to fire and a good amount of practice in order to hit a target . Therefore , the shortbow is considered a martial weapon .
