Dark Judgement

 is a unique ebony crossbow.

Background
An example of exquisite smithing technique, this ebony crossbow is of high quality and is among the best handheld ranged weaponry to be used in conjunction with stealth. Due to its ease of use, like most of the crossbows, Dark Judgement can make a marksman a formidable opponent.

Acquisition
The crossbow is forged by the fletcher Clemence for Urjorahn, as a token of gratitude. The weapon comes with a quiver of ebony bolts.

Enchantment
The enchantment is considered an additional effect instead, and thus any other magical effects can be placed on the weapon. Additionally, Dark Judgement ignores 50% of opponent's armor rating when tempered.
 * Dark Judgement: fires and reloads faster than a standard crossbow. Does not affect detection.

Smithing
Dark Judgement can be improved with an Ebony Ingot, and benefits from knowledge of smithing ebony. Tempering the crossbow results in an aforementioned additional effect.

Trivia

 * Dark Judgement's design is similar to the default crossbow, used as a trademark weapon by the Dawnguard in Fourth Era and the Imperial Legion on Vvardenfell in Third Era.
 * Like its steel counterpart, the ebony crossbow utilizes a "Goat's Foot Lever" as a means of loading.
