Tentomeno Cheri

The first victim to fall to Arx Tyrrim, Tentomeno Cheri is still the culinary center that it once was, its cooks displaying a mastery of vegetables and legumes only possible within the strict constraints of a land not meant for life to flourish within. Their most experienced chef-adventurers seek foraged ingredients born of the purest, most natural circumstances, and sneer at the preservation techniques of Ohn Frouri, which fall far short of their own pickling methodologies. With the advent of Arx Tyrrim's conquest, they continue their expertise, but also have opened new inquiry into the growth of plants and their use, and have already developed new ways to refine oils, as well as new recipes to use them in.
