General use: it's syrup makes for a strong drink, it's certainly not healthy though, and it makes for a powerful sterilizer, and disinfectant.
Description:
Ashwood, originally located on an island in Vailor named Avar is a cousin of the Elderwood which has been long used as a symbol of hope, and longevity to the peoples of Norland. The Ashwood is a deciduous tree that is able to be burnt, yet not harmed by flames, it’s bark is nearly as hard as steel when still attached to the tree.
The ashwood tree, similarly to it’s cousin, the Elderwood tree only retains it’s amazing properties when it is alive, however, unlike it’s cousin, it cannot be shaped into walls, houses, weapons armor etc it’s bark is too hard for that, it simply grows into a beautiful tree with near uncuttable bark.
Every spring, the Ashwood tree grows brown, orange and yellow leaves, gathering the small amount of sunlight that it needs. In the summer the tree secretes a powerful flammable liquid which is called “Ash Syrup”, and eventually, the heat will light the tree on fire, burning away it’s leaves and dying bark, this can be done manually if the climate is too cold for the tree to catch fire naturally, if the Ashwood tree catches fire too early in the summer, and the leaves die too quickly, this can leave the tree in a sickly state for the rest of the year, however, if the fire is started before the tree has secreted enough Ash Syrup, it will not burn the leaves fully, and they will fall off at the end of summer, leaving the tree in a fair state of health.
Once a year during spring, it drops a giant heavy dark seed from it’s branches, these seeds can live up to 2 years before they lose their use, the seed is extremely heavy, and must be carried by multiple people.
Ashwood can be burned by natural, and magic fire, though the only type that will cause harm to the tree is the latter, not all types of magic fire can burn this tree, however, beings with overwhelming strength harness the power to harm the tree with fire, however it’s certainly not the easiest way to harm the tree.
The Tree’s weakness lies in its soil, since the tree is deciduous and does not have leaves for over half the year, it cannot absorb as much sunlight as other trees, it mainly relies on nutrition from the soil and water.
After many hundreds of years, the tree will die, burning itself with a spectacular blaze until it’s burnt into nothing but ashes and a single dark seed buried underneath the ground, this process usually lasts two weeks of non-stop burning.
