Ember Tree

Ember Trees, only found on the Isle of Elhaíg are unique in that once they pass a certain point in their lives, they no longer require nutrients from the soil in order to live. Rather, they are completely self-sufficient and once cut from their stem, can flourish from just being in contact with water and the sunlight.

It is for this reason that ember trees are frequently used in creating the skims that the fisherfolk of Elhaíg use.

The stem of the Ember Tree, once cut in order to free the skim that was grown, continues its growth even faster than before and in just ten years, another skim can be readily harvested. A typical Ember Tree can create up to thirty skims before the branches become too thick and swollen to be shaped.

As of Y3A-1643, an experiment of attempting to use multiple Ember Trees to create a much larger ship is currently in process. If the process works successfully, airships made of Ember Trees may become a possibility.

As Ember Trees are still living wood even after being cut, they are typically more fire-resistant than other deadwood as well as being stronger and more flexible.
