Chilis were hot peppers used as strong spices, that originated from the continent of Maztica. They were available for purchase through Aurora's Whole Realms Catalogue.[1]
Description[]
The strong flavor of chilis was unique, but was considered similar to Malatran pepper. The spices were said to be able to cover up even the worst flavors, such as bad meat.[1]
When purchased through Aurora's, chilis could be shipped either in whole dried pods or already ground.[1] They could be found sold on the markets of Thay and its city of Amruthar.[4] Chili powder was available in the City of Splendors, Waterdeep.[5]
History[]
By the Year of the Ageless One, 1479 DR, the chili were considered a rare spice, and were very difficult to get (at least in Faerûn). Because of that their price had increased thrice.[3]
