If the crust is unbroken, it will stay good for months, keeping the inside moist, soft and chewy. Blackloaf originated in the farmlands of Anquar, but is now traded far and wide. Because an unbroken loaf keeps so long, it travels well and loaves of Blackloaf can be found as far s Kalimura and Magrakor. |
