Arrow of Dodona Cowl was inspired by the Percy Jackson book series Trials of Apollo.
The Arrow of Dodona was an arrow that Apollo found in the Grove of Dodona. It speaks in an Elizabethan accent and gives answers to Apollo, which are not prophetic. The answers vary from how to make a plague arrow to giving driving directions to the Cave of Trophonius.

Which direction are you taking your cowl?
