Origin[]

Dallol, Ethiopia currently holds the record for the highest recorded average temperature for an inhabited location. It is a location well known for its abundant salt mines, where salt is not only traded and shipped, but also used, in blocks, to form buildings.

Effects[]

This salt is always active. Depending on how much salt is kept together, it will drastically increase the temperature of the surrounding area.

Storage[]

For safety and to prevent the activation of nearby artifacts, the salt is separated into several manageable piles, kept in hermetically sealed, nitrogen-cooled boxes, each kept a minimal but safe distance from each other.
