A highlight for tourists visiting Salm is the water breathing potion which is sold by the locals in small fishing villages. For centuries, the people of Salm have known the secret of crafting this magical potion, which allows one to breathe underwater for about ten minutes. In Salm this is used to aid in the craft of fishery and boat building and the recipe is well protected by the villages’ elders. It is forbidden to be written down, to prevent it from being copied or stolen, and only passed on by word of mouth to those who are worthy.
Tourists pay a steep price for this speciality, as it is not given up to others easily. Usually when a tourist purchases the water breathing potion, a Salmian will also stand by to ensure a safe use. However, if the tourist wishes to take it home, the use of the potion is at the person’s own risk.
