Whispersong
A magical longbow wielded by the pirate Huey Romero. The bow is crafted out of bone, which is then decorated by dwarven runes. Whispersong was a gift from his mother long ago and crafted in their hometown of Belisa. Despite all of the chaos Huey has found himself in, he hasn't lost his bow and has added more enchantments to it.
Whispersong was originally a weapon designed to hunt incorporeal beings and undead. Being a native to Romaya, such contracts were commonplace. As of now, the bow can do so much more. The original enchantment made it impossible for incorporeal beings to avoid taking damage from the weapon. A corrosive enchantment was added during Huey's time aboard the Emerald Stalker, each arrow causing further harm with a splash of acid. A seaborne enchantment was added during the travels of The Wicked Reckoning, which allows the wielder to utilize the bow underwater with no issues.
Huey has also carved abyssal runes onto the bone, designating which species he considers his "favored enemies".
Significance
Whispersong represents the close bond between Huey and his mother, Iosefka Romero. She traveled the world as a monster hunter, so he grew up hearing of her adventures and all she had accomplished. When Iosefka realized that Huey was interested in that life path, she began training him to be a monster hunter as well. The majority of his knowledge of nature and the creatures that call it home, whether they're magic or mundane, came directly from his mother. As such, the bow reminds him of the many hours he spent studying with her and the adventures they shared before the hunt that nearly killed him.
