Graywood

Graywood is both a kind of tree and the name of its wood found in the Fifth of Trees. It grows only in the Forest of Gray, an area of the Gray Forest. It is known for the extremely long-lasting wood it produces, which can only be worked using unique methods. Graywood products can be found throughout the Fifth, and are often very old.

The name refers to both the strikingly gray color of the wood itself and the muted, grayish-green color of the tree's leaves.

Procurement

The Forest of Gray lies in a remote part of the Gray Forest, about 60 silvans west of Hilgarrad Fortress, one of the northernmost settlements in Edilyn Forest. The Gray Forest is known to have formerly had several communities; presumably many of the antique graywood products found in the Fifth were made by their people.

The tree will not grow in other areas, making cultivation near settled areas impossible.
