• Obtained in secret by Kamari Kaiser during the liberation of the Caledonians during the Tear in the Tapestry
• Crafted primarily of wood, this siege weapon is a marvel to see and behold. It is heavy, and, while it can be rotated or moved short distances by multiple, strong Luperci due in part to its wheels, moving this weapon any great distance requires the work of either strong, labor and pull-trained draft horses or mules. It has a few metal components, and is cranked via applying tension to a thick, sturdy rope. It has a sling that can toss sizeable boulders (no larger than 300lbs or 136kg) or whatever else the operator deigns to send hurdling towards their enemies so long as it is properly packaged for the forces caused by the catapult's throw.
• Additional notes:
  • The obtainment and possession of this weapon is a Secret that should not be shared with Outsiders
  • Due to the dangers of operating this weapon, Salsolans are not permitted to use the catapult or fire it without a member of the Shield present.
