This guild has a monopoly on the sale of salt, a mineral whose value derives from its use as the principal agent for food preservation.
A master salter sells bulk salt, preserved meats, cheeses, and often a variety of pickled foods. Many own a shop or stall in a town, while others travel between minor settlements.
Guilded salters may own salt pans and produce salt distilled from seawater or brine springs. The more common rock salt, on the other hand, is obtained from the Miners' Guild’ and transported by mercantylers, who can only sell it to salters.
