Chocolate in Ispar was a magical thing: It was reputed to heal, boost mana, or restore stamina, depending on method of preparation. Almost an alchemical agent in its own right - as seen in its resistance to alchemical influence - it is nonetheless edible and quite pleasant. This won chocolate everything from accolades to alchemists' treatises. Alas that it is not native to Dereth, but it appears the problem is now remedied..... | Chocolate in Ispar was a magical thing: It was reputed to heal, boost mana, or restore stamina, depending on method of preparation.

A treatise on the properties of chocolate.
ON CHOCOLATE

CHOCOLATE IN DERETH
Some Isparian seeds, planted years ago, have apparently at last produced mature trees. Some monsters collect the beans and carry them around protectively, apparently finding them tastier once fermented. (Fermented beans are brown in color.)
