Description. Barrow-Dyad is a singular, ritualistic submachine gun whose form abandons conventional firearm geometry. It is built as a one-handed circular weapon, resembling a heavy chakram rather than a gun. A rotating ring of dark metal frames the weapon, engraved with druidic spirals and funerary motifs. At its center sits a hollow core filled with swirling blight energy, like rotting leaves caught in a slow vortex. When fired, the weapon hums like wind through dead branches, launching rounds wrapped in necrotic spores and corrupted natural magic.

Reload. Barrow-Dyad holds 35 rounds. Reloading requires a bonus action. When reloaded, faint necrotic leaves and spores briefly spiral around the weapon before dissipating.
Lore. Barrow-Dyad was created to embody the dual truths of nature: growth and decay, life and rot, renewal and blight. Crafted by a conclave that rejected the separation of civilization and wilderness, the weapon channels death not as corruption—but as inevitability. Rangers and druids who wield it report that the blight does not feel hostile, only patient.
Firing lighter, easier to control rounds, the Submachine Gun is an effective alternative to larger automatic weapons.
