Maxoris

Maxoris was a spice and preservative that originated in the Eastern Heartlands town of Proskur.

Description
Maxoris was a white powder that was used by a caravan company from Proskur to preserve fresh meat for many weeks, a much longer lasting method compared to salt and other spices. The main disadvantage of maxoris was the strong musty taste it imparted on meat, overriding any other taste it might have and causing severe revulsion in some people. It found some popularity among travelers and explorers who wanted to have fresh meat on hand and didn't mind the taste, especially among those who explored the far North where the severe cold made taste irrelevant.

Availability
Maxoris was the seed of the maxor plant that grew along the lower Tun River near the southern Storm Horns and Proskur. It grew to a shoulder height and had long, drooping fernlike leaves. The seeds were contained in a bulb at the top of the plant, with ten plants having enough to pack and preserve a pound of meat.
