Wises
Ðupyaf is Wise in several specific areas of knowledge. These areas of knowledge give him benefits while adventuring, and also come with cultural benefits.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.
