Habitats

 * Maples were one of the three primary trees that grew in the King's Forest of Cormyr. Beyond there, they could occasionally be found throughout the lowlands of the Cormyr countryside.
 * Maples were known to grow in the Reaching Woods in west Faerûn.
 * Maples were known to grow in the forests of the lowlands of the Moonshae Isles.

Usage
Maple wood could be used to construct farming tools such as pitchforks, shovels, and winnowing flails. It was also a popular wood used in the construction of mapcases.

Sap from maple trees was also used to produce sugar. The thick syrup produced from the sap had a similar taste to q'laari, a naturally occurring fluid from the 531 layer of the Abyss that had poison-neutralizing properties.
