{{name}} is a hidden artifact, its whereabouts only found through manually reading white titled [[book]]s or as a [[secret]] from performing the water ritual with a member of the [[Trolls]] faction. Every game, the location is a random {{parasang}} in the left half of the overworld (the leftmost 40x25) tiles. This can be within any zone of the parasang, but will always be above ground in a unique {{qud text|&rred &yand &Mmagenta|notxml}} chest. <ref><code>XRL.World.WorldBuilders.JoppaWorldBuilder::AddStaticEncounters</code></ref>


&amp;CCritical hits scored with this weapon bestow a +4 bonus to its penetration rolls.
==Locating the Ruin of House Isner==
The location of {{name}} must be pieced together by at least two separate clues found in markov generated (white text) [[book]]s. Multiple clues can be found within one book, and clues can be found in both the title and the text. These books have a chance of containing sentences that provide the coordinate in one directional axis away from a known landmark. The possible directions are North, South, East, and West. The full coordinate must be constructed through two clues: one that uses North/South, and one that uses East/West.


&amp;CWhenever you discharge a full barrel of ammo with this weapon, you automatically score a critical hit with the last shot you fire.}} }}
It is also possible for a a quest to generate with {{name}}'s location as the reference point to another location, but this is a rare occurrence.


[[Category:Pistols]][[Category:Missile Weapons]][[Category:Artifacts]]
In fact, it is possible for a procedural village quest to generate with {{name}} as its objective. In this case, the quest giver will provide a landmark and directions that will reliably guide the player to the location of this weapon. Upon obtaining the weapon, however, the quest giver will not recognize that you are in possession of it; indeed, even if the weapon is held in your hand or your missile weapon slot, the only available dialog option is "I haven't located {{name}} yet."<ref>This was observed in world seed b4d08c45-ffdd-44e6-bc4d-65878d2f61ea in version 2.0.203.56 at the village of Surqalil south of the Six Day Stilt.</ref>

==Tips==
{{opinion}}
* It is the only non-procedurally-generated missile weapon that grants [[ego]], so cloning {{name}} with {{favilink|metamorphic polygel}} can be used as an unconventional ego boost.


==Recall Story==
==Recall Story==


{{Qud quote | The seven lords of House Isner feasted on boar gut and swilled wine from gilded cups in the ivy-strewn halls of their hold. They spared no concern for temperance, for the coffers of their house had swelled with gardeners' gold amassed through the sale of water drawn from the lords' wells. But as the gluttonous barons counted seven amongst their clan, so had become numbered their days of debauchery when the son of a beggared gardener swore a vengeful oath in the name of his father against the house of Isner.

The penniless boy beseeched a gunsmith of great repute to craft for him a pistol of the most exquisite artistry with which he could be sure to vanquish the seven lords, and in return the boy promised the smith all the spoils of the battle. The smith, who in the hazel eyes of the boy beheld the spirit of vengeance, agreed.
