Ironwood

Ironwood grows native on the Continent of Elementus, there are controlled forrests in Hustonium and extinct forests in Salath, one small grove of Ironwood grows north of the Capstone Mountains in the Wild Lands.

Purpose

Ironwood is a rare enchanted evergreen tree. 1 in 20 trees in Ironwood forrests produce a wood 10x stronger then normal hardwood and over the centuries the Kings of Hustonium have learned to cultivate and protect their crop of Ironwood and use it to make weapons, ships and buildings. Salathy kings of old were too greedy to maintain their forrests and now Ironwood is no longer farmed west of the Elementus mountains. In Hustonium the King has a monolopy on all Ironwood trees except for in in the Elven Kingdom of Zar'Ramunz. The Elves pay a tax to the Crown for the right to preserve or farm their own Ironwood.

Ironwood is a major staple of the Hustonium economy. Selling furnature and ships or weapons across the glove using Ironwood.
