Flame Salamander

Farming

Flame Salamander hearts are used as an ingredient in the creation of Heat Disks. As heat disks is an important source of heat for many city households the Flame Salamander farming is very important. The largest farm is set up by Academia at the edge of the Frost Mountains and produces about 1000 Flame Salamanders per year. Each salamander heart is enough to produce about 100 heat disks. With a most townsfolk in average buying one heat disk each tenth year that one farm is enough to provide for 1 million people (all human cities).

Food

The salamander meat is salted and sold as a traditional fine food during winter. Due to the salamanders resistance to fire it is hard to cook the meet by heat. The tradition of eating salamander meat begun soon after the farming. It was seen as a waste to just throw the rest of the salamander away and as it was winter at the time the salamanders was begun to be sold as food it by accident became winter tradition.
The neck meat is often dried in small stripes and eaten as jerky. The legs are boiled for over an day and cut up in small bits, resulting is small tough bits of salty meat often mixed into a kale salad. The inner part of the tail is the the least resistant part to heat and is often grilled and served as an appetizer together with a sweet berry jelly.
