Ebonwood

Ebonwood is a fictional material found in various fantasy settings, most notably within the lore of the Elder Scrolls series. It is typically described as a very dark, dense, and resilient type of wood, often with a natural sheen that gives it an almost metallic appearance. Its color ranges from deep black to a very dark, rich brown.

The properties attributed to Ebonwood vary, but it is consistently portrayed as being exceptionally strong and difficult to work with due to its hardness. This makes it a valuable material for crafting weapons, armor, and other durable items. In some contexts, Ebonwood is also associated with magical properties, believed to enhance the durability or effectiveness of items made from it. Its rarity and challenging nature contribute to its desirability among artisans and warriors.

The origin of Ebonwood is often linked to specific, often dangerous or mystical, locations within fictional worlds, such as ancient forests or places touched by dark magic. Its name itself suggests its dark color and formidable nature.
