Needs a Little Salt-Wise

Salt is very valuable in The Realm. It is used by priests in purification rituals, and can be used to season and preserve food. The salt used in the Delta is a coarse sea salt that is typically stored in sealed, clay jars.

The main producer of salt in the Realm is the coastal town of Laamum. Salt is exported via the Diira River to Magehold, where it is bought from traders around the Realm.

Vegetable-Wise

The most commonly used vegetables in the Delta are root vegetables grown in gardens, both on homesteads and in kitchen gardens. Homesteads do not typically grow vegetables as their principle crop, but rather as a supplement to their Oat Corn crop.

Root vegetable are rarely eaten on their own due to the bland taste, although in a pinch a hungry homesteader may roast some veggies at the hearth. Instead, vegetables are used to add texture and nutrients to pottage, which is an oat corn stew containing various meats and vegetables.

Vegetables are typically preserved through pickling. Pickles are stored in small clay jars sealed with wax and are one of the more common forms of preserved food in the Realm.

The public perception of vegetables is that they are healthy for the body and ward off bad luck, but are not much fun to eat.

Nifveð-Wise

The town of Nifveð lies on the Diira River, and receives travellers and smaller trade ships passing between Magehold and the coast.

The town is famous for its large and busy market, situated near the docks. The market sells strange items from all over the known world. Residents of Nifveð will also claim that it is famous for its oat corn pastries, although most outside of Nifveð don't seem to have heard of them.
