Phandar

Phandar was a type of tree found across Faerûn.

Description
Phandar trees had numerous curving branches sprouting from a knobby trunk. The branches faced away from the wind, meaning that a group of phandars almost always pointed the same direction. Phandar leaves were triangular and mottled green. Phandar trees were said to resemble ropers.

Usage
Because of its strength, phandar wood was an excellent building material. It was also used in the crafting of bows, tools, and weapon handles. Its multicolored grains made it prized in jewelry making.

Locations
Phandars were found all across Faerûn but rarely north of the High Forest. Due to excessive logging, the total number of phandars were decreasing rapidly.
