Harvested from a magical tree, Everwood is a particularly unusual material intended to be used in crafting by woodworkers. Once Everwood is carved into a given shape, even if combined with other materials, it never dies, but continues to grow. More specifically, it regrows, back into the intended shape with which it was created. Nicks and scratches repair themselves in less than a minute, but more severe damage takes more time. Even if Everwood scalemail is reduced to sawdust, it is capable of taking shape again, but may take days or weeks to do so. The only known way to completely destroy Everwood is by burning it to ash, or destroying it in some form of acid.

A particularly clever woodworker is able to use Everwood in ways unusual for crafted items, since the resulting item always regrows to its intended form. For example, if a woodworker constructs a quarterstaff from Everwood and a berry tree, the quarterstaff will likely begin to grow berries on as often as daily.
