Planewalkers in Salt (TIP)

__TOC__
Aside from working in the mines or guarding them from hostile creatures found in this plane, there may be little reason for a traveler to make his way to the plane of Salt. One option, however, includes joining forces with one side or the other of the coming war that will pit the facets of Salt against the entirety of the plane of Water. Since facets multiply when they encounter water, it may very well be a struggle as eternal as the infamous Blood War.
(The current chant also claims that a power-mad illithid has stolen a powerful psionic object called ecstasy's death and taken it to the plane of Salt. There, reportedly, he's buried himself in a dungeonlike abode surrounded by mind-controlled Salt natives. A bounty rests on his tentacled head from both a tribe of githzerai and a kingdom of dwarves on the Out/ands, who he's apparently wronged.-the Editor)
==Spell Keys and Other Necessities==
It is possible to overcome some or all of the plane's magicwarping effects through the use of spell keys. In this plane, they take the form of various fluids that must be added to the normal material components associated with a given spell. These liquids are quickly absorbed by the quasiplane and lost, but the caster's spell functions normally. The most common of these elixirs are extracts of rare plants or spices, but fluids drawn from living animals have been known to be efficacious as well.
