Badger Biscuit
The badger biscuit was originally developed by the Silvervein dwarf clan as a non-perishable food source for miners working in hazardous areas. Skilled dwarven bakers created the recipe, which had a remarkable ability to transform the miner’s hands into powerful digging claws. These claws were intended to enable a quick escape from dangerous creatures, and mining expeditions would prepare small escape tunnels filled with soil and rocks to facilitate this escape.
The recipe was a closely guarded secret of the Silvervein clan for centuries until arcane researchers became interested in recreating it. After much experimentation, they were finally able to unlock the secret of the badger biscuit’s transformative properties.
