Felsul

Felsul was a type of deciduous tree that thrived in harsh conditions.

Description
Felsul trees had flaky brown bark, from the hue of cinnamon to deep brown. Underneath the layer of bark was a soft wood. The trees were often gnarled and twisted. They typically flowered briefly in the early spring.

Usage
Fresh felsul wood could be eaten to decrease nausea and to numb the mouth and throat to enable eating and sleeping. Felsul wood was did not burn well and was too weak to have much other use.

Felsul flowers could be crushed to make an alluring, spicy perfume. An ounce of this perfume cost 100 gp. A sack of flowers could be sold for 5–30 sp.

Felsul root was sometimes used for small carvings, such as for holy symbols, figurines, and toys.

Locations
Felsuls were often found in cold, rocky places with poor soil. They could grow where no other tree could: in poor soil, on cliff sides, and in crags. They were common in northwest Faerûn. They were known to line the Laughingflow in the Evermoors. .

Felsuls were also found in Adhe Wood in the Vast.
