A silver '''lor''' tree is a tall and slender tree. Lor grew well in early Faendryl settlements, but recent attempts at planting the tree in other regions in the Elven Nations has met with little success, leading to the rarity of the tree.

Lor symbolizes wisdom and long-sight, and thus is primarily used in creating magical staves.

The lor, commonly called the silver lor, is a tall, slender tree that grows to great heights. Often called lovers' trees, it was the custom of the Faendryl elves to plant lor trees as a pair, and there are records of some of these famous pairs living well past 600 years. First found in abundance within the extensive forests surrounding the early Faendryl settlements, the lor has declined in succeeding centuries, and is now quite rare. Efforts to initiate plantings of lor trees in other parts of the Elven Nations have met with little success, resulting in workable lor wood being extremely rare and expensive when it is found. The lor, with its graceful lofty boughs has long symbolized wisdom, or having long sight with a clear vision of what is beyond and yet to come. For this reason, the most common use of lor wood is in the production of staves.

Lor is considered a rarer material. Because of this, it requires fodder when used in alterations. See alter fodder for more information.
