Azerothian Botany - Culex Tree
Of Ardenweald’s countless plant species, the culex tree is one of the most highly prized. Found near the Banks of Life on the northern edge of the realm, this tree is easily distinguishable by its pale green leaves [Quest: Gifts of the Forest]. It is the wood, however, wherein the tree’s true value lies [Item: Culexwood Branch].
Culexwood, which is remarkably soft and light, is coveted by the night fae for its many practical applications [Item: Culexwood Branch]. In most cases, it is usually carved into musical instruments or weapons [Item: Culexwood Longbow, Item: Culexwood Dagger, Item: Culexwood Knife]. Musical instruments made from culexwood are considered some of the finest, so much so that they are even offered as prizes in contests of skill and creativity among musicians [Item: Culexwood Pan Flute]. Culexwood is also an integral component of specially made totems used to relocate gormlings. However, it is worth noting the tree must give of its wood willingly for the totem to work [Quest: Gifts of the Forest].
