;A purple heartwood vial - 300gp : Formed from a deep violet heartwood, this vial has been carved in the shape of a lovely dryad. Her arms are depicted raised and curved lovingly around a tree, her hair flowing out slightly in a breeze. She is clad in a shimmering crystal gown, accented with flecks of diamonds and silver leaf.

;A redwood vial - 300gp : This vial is carved from the wood of the giant redwoods of the Aalen Forest. It is carved into the form of a Treekin Warrior of Eleusis. The bark of the Treekin is reddish brown, and coarse, with thorny protrusions from the branches. A few tiny emeralds are inlaid into the base of the Treekin, giving the appearance of moss growing up the tree. | ;A redwood vial - 300gp : This vial is carved from the wood of the giant redwoods of the [[Aalen Forest]].

;An orangewood vial - 300gp : Formed from a light and flexible orangewood, this vial has been carved into the shape of a leaf.

;A dragon-carved rosewood pipe - 100gp : Carved from the deepest red rosewood, this pipe has been sanded and polished to a sheen, the grain of the wood providing entrancing patterns. The neck is longer than the average pipe, slightly curving upwards, the tip capped by a tiny piece of stag's horn. The bowl has been delicately carved into the form of a tiny dragon, which can be lifted by a hinge to fill and light. Once lit and closed, the smoke trails from the nostrils of the dragon, the glow of the pipe lighting the tiny amethyst eyes so that it almost appears to take on life of its own. | ;A [[dragon]]-carved rosewood pipe - 100gp : Carved from the deepest red rosewood, this pipe has been sanded and polished to a sheen, the grain of the wood providing entrancing patterns.

Tiny [[kawhe]] beans have been delicately embedded to the bowl of the pipe, and carefully petrified to maintain their shape even with heavy use. The bowl itself is curved, wide inside to contain embers and herbs, but closely tied to prevent too much air burning it fast. When lit, the kawhe beans release a heady, aromatic scent, filling the air with a slightly nutty aroma. | ||
;An elegant apple-shaped pipe - 100gp : The wood from a fallen apple tree has rather appropriately been used to form this tiny apple, sanded smooth and finely polished. It has been treated with a deep red wood-stain, save for a single leaf at the top which is a vivid green. A small pipe extends from one side for drawing smoke through, and the small leaf operates as a switch to open the apple in the middle, to fill and stoke for smoking. A small hole in the stalk allows smoke to curl out, and somehow the wood is thin enough for the embers to cause it to glow a soft red when lit. | ;An elegant apple-shaped pipe - 100gp : The wood from a fallen apple tree has rather appropriately been used to form this tiny apple, sanded smooth and finely polished.
