Felsul was a type of deciduous tree that thrived in harsh conditions.[4][3]
Description[]
Felsul trees were often gnarled and twisted, and had flaky brown bark from the hue of cinnamon to deep brown and a soft wood.[1][2][4] They typically flowered briefly in the early spring.[2][4][3]
Usage[]
Fresh felsul wood could be eaten to decrease nausea and to numb the mouth and throat to enable eating and sleeping.[1] Felsul wood did not burn well and was too weak to have much other use.[4]
Felsul flowers could be crushed to make an alluring, spicy perfume simply called felsul flower oil.[5] An ounce of this perfume cost 100 gp.[2] A sack of flowers could be sold for 5–30 sp.[4][3]
Felsul root was sometimes used for small carvings, such as for holy symbols, figurines, and toys.[4][3]
