[edit] Chime

Chime oaks are specific to the northern sections of east starwood, a portion of the forest of Cormanthor. They are like regular oaks, but appear as though they are made of glass. Their leaves freeze easily in autumn and winter, and do not fall off the tree, instead making a tinkling noise in the wind, which gives the trees their name. This noise attracts basilisks.^[3]

[edit] Notable oaks

The Sacred Oak is a highly respected ancient oak tree in Leuthilspar on the island of Evermeet. The wood and wild elves believe that it was the first tree on Evermeet, while it is more generally believed that the tree came from Arvandor.^[4]
