Dawn of the Golden Oak

GOLDEN OAK (#17/31, #17/365) [TTHA] 

Appearance: This is a huge many-branched tree with lobed golden-green leaves and nut-like fruit known as acorns

Distribution: Woods and forests across Titan.

 

Effects: Golden Oak trees grow only in the deepest of Elven glades and their leaves are considered holy by Wood Elves, and others, including Yorefolk. A Golden Oak Leaf can be used to make the magical brooch of the same name. This Golden Oak Leaf Brooch gains safe passage through Elf-controlled tracts of woodland, and is even recognised as a symbol of peace by the ghosts and spirits of long-deceased Elves that still remain upon Titan. It also grants the powers of the Oak-Leaf Amulet (see The Titan Herbal, p. 10).

 

Cost: City 75gp, Town 80gp, Village 85gp (per brooch)

 

Availability: Rare

Further Notes: The Golden Oak is related to the various other kinds of Oak tree (see The Titan Herbal, p. 51), as well as the truly weird (and dangerous!) Gnarled or Carnivorous Oak of Khul (see Beyond the Pit, pp. 59-60).
