Dyrwoodan Hog Nose is a cannon in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire.
Description[ | ]
This type of cannon came to prominence during the Saint's War, where Dyrwoodan forces used it to great effect combating the Readceran invasion. It is inexpensive to construct, lightweight, and reliable. The short, broad barrel earned its nickname from Lord Commander Sigfryd Rulth of the Dyrwoodan Overland Regiment at the battle of Char's Field, where he and his soldiers - nearly all of them commoners - made a valiant stand against the invaders. He is famously quoted, "There is nothing more stubborn than a Dyrwoodan farmer fighting for his home, save perhaps our hog nose guns."
Easily converted to use as a shipboard weapon, the hog nose is nonetheless inferior to dedicated naval guns, as its range is limited. Its light weight, however, is advantageous to a ship's overall speed and maneuverability.
