PSA: hemlock trees are not poison hemlock

Post by Rias »

I've heard several amused comments about hemlock items in-game and the potential problems they would cause. Whether the comments have been in jest or just mistaken, I thought it best to clarify: The hemlock tree and the poison hemlock plant are completely different, the tree being what people in-game have chopped down and made into items. The tree is not poisonous, so no need to worry about health issues with items made from hemlock wood. In the real world hemlock trees are used for wood pulp, their bark for leather tannin (remind me to add hemlock bark as suitable for tannin in-game), and their needles used for teas and perfumes - so, pretty clearly non-hazardous to human health. Enjoy those hemlock structures and containers and whatnot without fear!
