Saltrice is an abundant, yet nutritious plant and crop that grows in the province of Morrowind[1] and Elsweyr.[2] The commonality of Saltrice plays importance to the culture of Morrowind, and even the history of the Great House Dres, who live in the southeast region around their capital city, Tear. They built their expansive fortune from years of harvesting this plant and the slave industry that they currently spearhead.[3] Fermented saltrice is brewed into the popular drink, Mazte, which has a negative effect on one's wit and judgement.[4]
There is a market for Saltrice across the Empire, exported by the East Empire Company.[5] Normally, it comes from the southeastern region, but by the late Third Era, there have been several more plantations growing from the Ascadian Isles on Vvardenfell.[6] Saltrice also grows in abundance in the fertile valleys around Kragenmoor.[7] The plant shares its name with the Dunmeri martial art, Salt Rice, which is practiced by the Dissident Priests.[8] Saltrice is commonly used as kwama feed.[9]
