Black Crops

Black Crops. It's widely believed that the Blackstar and the monsters contaminated the lands in northwestern Calpheon even though the reason for infertile soil is due to the salty sea water flowing deep under the ground. Some farmers used the fertilizer provided by Calpheon to grow crops. However, because of the believe that the land was cursed, the villagers refused the crops grown in that land. They only accepted the rations distributed directly from Calpheon or food supplies cleansed by the priest. As a result, the crops that farmers worked hard to grow in that land rotted and turned black.
