Special Materials of Aenea: Plants & Woods
Aenea is a world rich in minerals, plants, animals, and magic. Some rare materials have special properties beyond those of normal substances. Some of those materials are described here. Crystal Wood - This rare wood is found only within the trees of the Crystal Forest in the Sylvan Realm. The wood is normally transluscent white, but is sometimes stained shades of green, blue, or purple. Items made from this wood are incredibly rare and are made only by the most talented of elven craftsmen. Fireoak - A hardwood tree like a normal red oak, fireoak is incredibly rare. These trees have bark that is black and looks like it has been charred by intense fire. Their leaves are orange, red, and gold. The entire surface of a fireoak radiates warmth, and prolonged contact of more than a minute can cause first degree burns. Living fireoaks are completely immune to any sort of fire or heat. When cut, the wood of a fireoak is very dark brown in color like ironwood. It retains the heat of the living tree, although to a lesser degree (it cannot cause physical harm). The wood is partially resistant to fire, ignoring the first 5 points of fire damage per round if subjected to such effects. The wood is just as hard as normal oak. Items crafted primarily of fireoak wood are considered masterwork, and cost at least 300 gp more than a normal item of the same type. Fireoak acorns are incredibly rare and can fetch more than 1000 gp each on the open market.
