The Lifeless Loche

Is a large body of innland saltwater that bears no known life. It has been studied by several high ranking science officers and archmages, but none have managed to find the reasons for its toxic nature. Contrary to rumours and stories the water does not stand still at all times, and is in fact quite affected by wind and turbulent weather. It has become both a tourist attraction and a vehicle for commercial gain as the H-M-A gathers the water and ships it to the southern cities where people buy up every last drop due to rumours of magical properties. Small amounts are not deadly for humanoids and so its salty and strong oder has become used in foods. The water has been found by several notable arcane masters to contain no form for magic nor weavic residue.
