Hiexel

Hiexel was a type of tree found in Faerûn.

Description
Hiexel trees usually grew about 30 feet tall. They had sparse branches that curved to make an overall oval shape. They had silver-green bark. The wood itself was green.

Usage
Hiexel produced a great quantity of smoke when burned, so it was useful in cooking and signal fires. Hiexel bark was used in bookbinding and as a sealant in buildings. The wood was unstable and so was not useful in construction or crafting.

Habitats

 * Hiexel trees were quite common in the Dalelands.
 * Hiexel trees were also found, albeit less commonly, in the North, where they were found south of the Nether Mountains, especially in the Rauvin Vale and Delimbiyr Vale.
 * In west Faerûn's Western Heartlands, hiexel trees could be found in the Cloak Wood.
