Tuskwood

Tuskwood was a species of large coniferous tree native to T'lessia. Most common within the Great Western Forest within the Tal'adin Republic, they could easily grow in excess of one hundred meters tall and ten or more meters in diameter in the planet's lighter-than-standard gravity and oxygen-rich atmosphere. Wood from the tree produced a rich dark grain, and was typically used in making furniture and residential flooring.

Laera Reyolé and Silas Dan'kre lived in a small hovel that had been carved into the bole of a particularly stout and healthy tuskwood tree during much of their time on T'lessia. The dinner plates at Iper T'Royc's great aunt's house were patterned with tuskwood trees.
