No chunky salsa for White-Eye. Reckon Jorwen could drag his body out.

On Kamal archery, bows exist but they are very rare and serves as specialist equipment. Their mages are several magnitudes numerous than archers, and their ships have more ice launchers than archers. I actually imagine their bows as shortbows rather than longbows. Due to Kamals not producing bows on their own, and whatever they got their hands on are captured from Tang Mos or traded with neighbors. Being the isolationists they are, the latter happens infrequently.
I know what you guys are thinking; Gcold, isn't the bow universal to every culture? Actually, the native Australians never used bows. Instead, they use spear-throwers to achieve comparable effects as the historical bow. Kamals do have regiments of spearmen, and a simple device converting their melee weapon to ranged is far more effective than dedicated missile troops.
The Australian aboriginals also tossed boomerangs. Anyways, @Hyperdrive is Aussie, he should know more about this.
ES lore has near nothing on Kamals, despite them obliterating Windhelm in 2nd era and forced the founding of the Ebonheart Pact. Mysterious Akavir did mention the snow demons' homeland as mountainous and arctic, not exactly favorable conditions for obtaining wood and fletching. Their advances in metallurgy compensates for absentee woodworking.
Here's a theory tracing from Kamals' hypothetical origin, nothing official or proven, just a potential excuse.
Even Jorwen hasn't managed to kill one single-handedly, he'd have been dead without White-Eye's sacrifice and the only reason Sadri killed one by his lonesome was because it was pretty distracted and panicked, unaware of its surroundings.
The Kamal are archer-deprived. Their means of battle are-
1. Thawing out
2. Fucking
3. Killing
4. Freezing again
@gcoldDo the Kamal have archers, or anything long-range, asides from the ice bolt missiles on their boats?
