Zezzu Wood

Zezzu Wood, the material of the stump of the Zezzu tree is a surprisingly elastic but almost inflammable type of wood. It can carry a good amount of weight and has a very appealing, dark reddish-brown color. As such, Zezzu Wood is a preferred material in the construction of housing.

Due to its elasticity, the fencing schools in Baradolia prefer practice weapons made out of Zezzu.

Since the carrying of practice weapons is usually legal for any free citizen in Baradolia, it became a disturbing trend to let a Woodmith fashion an actual deadly weapon looking like a practice sword out of Zezzu wood. This led to a tragic accident, where the younger brother of a noble was killed during practice, as his training partner reportedly unbeknown to himself picked up a deadly Zezzu Sword.

Burning the wood (if you manage to create a flame hot enough) can lead to intoxicating fumes, slightly weaker than the burning of the Zezzu leaves. Some even claim to chew the splints can calm your nerves significantly.

In Metalchemistry Zezzu Wood is a very versatile foundation. It is remarkably well able to adapt even the fleeting attributes of aetherial materials.
