Wikipedia has an article about: Beech. |
Beech trees, also known as beechwood trees were a species of deciduous trees common in the North Faerûn.[9]
Description
Beechwood trees had smooth, silvery bark early in life[9] and with age it toughened and darkened. Their wide green leaves turned stunning red and golden color[11] in the autumn.
Habitat
Cormanthor[1], also known as the Elven Woods, bordering the Dalelands[4], had a large population of beeches growing alongside other deciduous trees with occasional pines in barren areas of the forest.[2]
Haptooth Hill, on which stood the town of Hap, was surrounded by copious beech, oak, and maple trees.[3]
Delimbiyr Vale had many oaks and beeches, notably, surrounding the hill where stood the Smiling Satyr tavern.[8]
Cloak Wood, located to the south of Baldur's Gate, was a thick overgrown and dangerous forest that included numerous beechwood trees.[5]
Beech, along with elms, maples, and oaks grew in the Reaching Woods, the Western Heartlands[7][12], as well as in the northern part of Serpent Hills.[6]
Some of the beech trees could be found in the ruins of Synod in Anauroch.[9]
Beyond Toril, beechwood was common in the wilderness of the realm of Beastlands.[13]
Usage
- Luther's Protector was an enchanted monk weapon crafted out of beechwood by the dwarves of Myth Drannor.[1]
- Mulhorand imported beech and cedar lumber for construction and craft from the Sword Mountains.[10]
Trivia
- Barausk trees that grew in the Harrowdale and Deepingdale looked very similar to beeches with black branches, white trunks, and were covered in thorns.[14]
- Foxberry bushes often could be found growing near beech trees in Cormanthor.[15]
- One of the legendary Nether Scrolls, took the form of a magic beech tree known as the Quess Ar Teranthvar.[16]
- Viper trees found in the Abyss were reminiscent of leafless white beechwood trees.[17]
