The Rustwood Tree, also known as the Haarstryke Kalt (Har-strik Kelt) in the Sovakien language is a large, dense, nut bearing tree found widespread in the sub-alpines of Sovakier, and select regions around it. It receives its name from the rusty color of both the resin and the wood of the tree itself.

  • The Rustwood Tree, also known as the Haarstryke Kalt (Har-strik Kelt) in the Sovakien language is a large, dense, nut bearing tree found widespread in the sub-alpines of Sovakier, and select regions around it. It receives its name from the rusty color of both the resin and the wood of the tree itself. The tree consists mainly of the thick trunk, or bole, which can be over 91 cm thick depending on the age. It may extend upwards of 30-45 meters in order to receive sufficient sunlight, as the trees are constantly competing for light with one another. Depending on the age, light, nutrients, and the water levels of the area grown in, the Rustwood Tree may grow vertically at rates of nearly 17 cm a month, or about 2 meters a year. However, growth slows down as aging increases, and takes the average time of a Earth year to develop a new ring. The smooth, grayish-brown bark of the tree can be up to 5-7 cm thick in order to protect it from both bugs and fire damage. The wood of the tree has many unique properties unshared by other Natkian trees. Such properties include its incredible strength, density, and various colors, ranging from deep reds to yellows. The density of the wood is so high, arrows shot with even the finest bows have a difficult time sticking into the wood. It is unknown what gives the tree this property, though scholars speculate it may be because of altitude, or possibly iron and/or mineral content in the soil, though it is just a speculation. It also seems to be nearly incombustible, which allows it to be made into incredibly strong and safe ships and houses. However, though it is not easy to burn, the tree can catch on fire after persistence, and will burn for days after. It is thought to have this property because of the high density and water content of the wood. The orange-yellow leaves of the Rustwood Tree are medium sized, about 7 cm in width and 12 in length. The leaves are flexible, and hard to tear; because of that some insects find them difficult to eat. Each twig has usually 6 leaves, with 2 smooth, oval shaped nuts and the tip of the twig. These are only about 1 cm in width and 3 in length.
