Hard-tack, sometimes called hardtack,[3] was a dry unseasoned water-and-flour biscuit. It was available for purchase through Aurora's Whole Realms Catalogue.[2]
Description[]
The biscuits were dry and bland. However, due to its extraordinary resilience, hard-tack was a popular choice for long sea voyages.[2] It was also a common component of travelers' rations.[3]
Rumors & Legends[]
Some claimed that Valkur, the Faerûnian god of sailors, would on occasion manifest striding across the waves pulling a small boat filled with casks of water and sea biscuits to feed all sailors that fell overboard.[1]
