As I recall the Roamn Army paid wages sometimes in salt, hence salary. Er, I was trying to think of Lunar salt sources? I can see the Wastes as having huge expanses of surface salt however, and being an ideal source. the Heortling Coast will provide most of Sartars needs I would have thought, and anyway I can also sea salt as mythic dried tears of the Godtime, so I guess you might find deposits all over the place. Salt has historically been symbolically linked with Truth and Mourning - a very Humakti substance, but I am drawing on Biblical sources, not Gloranthan ones. Anyone got any ideas on the mythic qualities of salt?
