Uses, Products & Exploitation

Nodding Wake Robin is used in all manner of ways, mainly by the people of Aetherland.
It leaves are a natural healing herb, when crushed and combined with water it turns into a paste. Rubbing that paste into your forehead relieves headaches and hangovers. When you chew on its leaves it relieves heartburn and stomach aches.
It's fruit is a hearty source of good minerals and viatmins, having a slight citrus taste to it, but being more apple like in appearence and texture. This fruit can be used to brew cider and mead.
The flowers that form as blossom before fruit bears is used by wild and domestic bees, imparting a citrus taste to their honey and nectar.
Its bark is soaked and chewed, doing so reduces phelm in the throat and lungs, but it does have a bitter, medicinal taste.
Its wood is used for weapons and land vehicles, it doens't resist water very well making it not great for waterborn vehicles. It is really apt at making strong arms for bows and crossbows from its trunk wood, and the softer wood of its branches is very useful as hilts for axes, swords, and other melee weapons, forming naturally to the wielders hand overtime. For use in vehicles the wood is very strong and light, not all trunks can be used for bows, depending on knots and odd aspects during its growth. These offcuts are used as planks for carts and wagons, as they are very light allowing the horses/cargo animals to pull the carts with ease.
