In the Lith-Crillion Era, at the fortified stronghold of Frosvirk, the renowned necromancer Halavile Freydis pioneered the first black siege crossbow. These formidable weapons fire bolts infused with negative energy, encasing the projectiles in an aura of crackling dark power. While siege crossbows are typically mounted on walls or tripods, tales speak of ogres and giants wielding them as handheld firearms. However, the slow rate of fire for this heavy weaponry results in a loss of two attacks per round. Creatures capable of only a single attack would be limited to firing these crossbows once every three rounds.
