DARKWOOD (#6/31, #34/365) [TTHA]
Appearance: This is a tall tree with twisted branches and knotted roots. Its trunk is a dark brown in colour and its leaves are broad, five-lobed, and with a dark green hue.
Distribution: Forests across Titan.
Effects: Timber from the Darkwood tree is used for a variety of construction purposes, including doors, tables and coffins (allegedly favoured by the Vampire Lord Count Reiner Heydrich). Darkwood is a common component of magical items, crafted in the enchantment of items such as the Carved Armband, the Flying Bier, the Raven Charm, and the Wand of Transformation (the latter a twisted rod commonly used by Hags and Cursewitches). A staff made from Darkwood will absorb some magical energy directed at its bearer; whoever has a Darkwood Staff may add a +1 bonus to one Test Your Luck versus hostile magic once per day.
Cost: City 12gp, Town 14gp, Village 16gp (per staff)
Availability: Common
Further Notes: Darkwood Forest in north-western Allansia is named after the profusion of Darkwood trees found growing there.
