Quasielemental Plane of Salt

Of all the Quasielemental Planes, the Quasielemental Plane of Salt might be the worst, or at least that's so in the imaginations of travelers. What crueler fate is there than slowly having the very lifeblood within one's self parched away? The skin shrivels, the lips crack, the throat fills with dry choking, and the eyes - well, the eyes are the most horrible. Welcome to the plane of Salt.

At its safest edge, nearer to the Elemental Plane of Water, Salt still seems to be only water bitter and unpalatable, but still water. Travel deeper into the plane toward the Negative Energy Plane and the water grows more laden with minerals. Crystals form, solidifying on even the smallest mote of a seed. Travelers who venture farther are in peril of becoming completely encrusted, the salts leaching all moisture out of their cells. Finally, all water is gone and there is only a solid mass of crystalline salts, hard and deadly, to block all progress.

Note: The Quasielemental Plane of Salt originally appeared in the Planescape AD&D campaign setting from TSR. Its use here is for the purposes of providing context for the campaign only.
