Black Pine if you please

BLACK PINE (#17/30, #169/365) [TTHA] 

Appearance: This is a large-sized coniferous pine tree, whose twisting branches grow up and out to over forty metres tall. The wood is black and lustrous in colour, while the leaves form clusters of dark green brush-like pine needles.

Distribution: Mountains, forests and woods across northern Allansia.

 

Effects: The wood of the Black Pine is one of the strongest and rarest kind of timber in Allansia, and is used for constructing ships, fortifications, siege engines and the like. Anything made from Black Pine wood can add an extra +2 to its BATTLE or SHIP STAMINA. It can also be used for crafting weapons. A quarterstaff made from the wood of the Black Pine will never break in combat, such as on a double Fumble roll or other events. Such items are still flammable as per more normal types of wood and timber though.

 

Cost: City 10gp, Town 8gp, Village 6gp (per staff)

 

Availability: Very Rare.

 

Further Notes: The Riddling Reaver's flying ship, the Twice Shy, was made of Black Pine wood.
