Kensho hit by bolas
The bola was a throwing weapon of varying design made of weights on the ends of interconnected cords.
The urRu used bolas as divinatory objects, made by twining uncut threads into a trifurcated knot resembling the symbol for the Great Conjunction.[1]
Bolas were the tool of choice of Drenchen hunters, alongside the spear.[2]
After the Garthim War, some Podling villages developed the practice of using a single weighted design to dispatch Crystal Bats, thus preventing Garthim raids.[3]
A three-weighted variant was adopted during the Age of Power by the Royal Guard.[4]
