Kiamaras - Chef's Guild

Chefs Guild

The Chefs Guild is one of the main three guilds you can align with in Solaria, often being the choice guild of anyone with a passion for cooking, baking, or making medicines to take care of themselves or others. The guild has been around for many years and had always been run by Kiamaras until Rose's Father, Boronvine, took over the guild around thirty years before the Calamity.

Boronvine was a master chef, coming from Crestport to start his business in Pandrea and to raise his only daughter. He had always believed there was so much more to food than just what was on the plate and that the love and care you put into a dish could be tasted with every bite. It was that mentality that saw him rise through the ranks of the Chef's Guild, making it to being the guild leader until his untimely passing 10 Sol years ago.

For the last 5 Sol years, Rose has been head of the guild for the past 5 Sol years, following in her father's footsteps. Her passion for food and her knowledge of Herbalism showed that you do not need to be well-versed in all types of foods and that a few herbs and spices could make even the blandest of foods a wonderful tasty treat. Because of both her and her father's influence, those who join this guild tend to value love above all else, showing their passion for cooking and sharing meals with one another to be a sign of appreciation and affection.

Living off the land

Requires: Level 2

“Well hey there, buttercup! I see you have an interest in Herbalism, huh? Perfect! Now, most others out there think of Herbin' as simply going to a field, picking some flowers, and bringing them back. To be honest, they're not half wrong, but it's so much more intricate. Certain plants only grow in certain environments, others only grow in the deep blue, and there will be plenty of times you'll go ta find somethin' only for it to not be the season it grows in!

It tends to be that every three months or so the harvest of different herbs, fruits, and veggies is available for you to obtain!
From the start of April until the end of June, you can find all sorts of fruits and veggies to help warm your tummies, or add a bit of flavour to a bland dish! From the flamin' hot firecracker fruit to the stinky stiltonberries, this season you'll find an abundance of most regional favourites.

That's where the initial part of the introduction to herbin' starts; knowing the basics of the land! Why don't you go out there an' find some ingredients, bring them back to me, and I can tell you what you can do with 'em! From entrees to mains and desserts and more! And we may even be able to learn more about these tasty foods in the process.”

Which ingredient does your character search for? How did their adventure go?

Do they decide to try their luck in the harsh winter-locked town of Talinokk for some deliciously ripe Firecracker Fruit?
Perhaps they go to Stonehill in search of the stinkiest fruit, the Stiltonberry?
Maybe they decide to try their luck in either Stonehill or Talinokk in hopes of finding the slightly scary Lady’s Grace?
Do they search deep within the shaded areas of Pandrea looking for the cosmic Nebulots?
Perhaps they like climbing the trees in Crestport to obtain some Pink Peppercorn?
Or maybe they try to do an around-solaria-in-80-days to try to get all of them?

“Hey there sweet pea! How has the gatherin’ been going? Is there anything good for us to try? Perfect! I can’t wait to see just how fresh it all is; after all, fresh is best! It’s been a while since the Lampyres have tried snatchin’ anything lil’ ol me has made, so your food and produce should be safe here for a little while, so why don’t I help you make a wonderful lil’ dish with your food?

Depending on what you have for us to try, I could show you a yummy little treat for either yourself, your companion, or even a pet! Once you’ve perfected the recipe, you’ll be able to make it yourself. Though there are a lot of recipes to try, so always come back to see what else we can make together.

And if you come and give me a bunch of fresh fruits, veggies, and other delicacies for me to use, I’d be happy to share with you a wonderful book of my father’s - apparently, it’s even from the inturos themselves! And whilst the words are a bit hard to read, there’s even a little’ handy-dandy picture guide to go with it! So, whatcha waitin’ for, sweetie? Let’s get bakin’”

What fresh produce does your character give Rose?

Do they decide to hand in a couple of Applens to see what can be made with them?
Perhaps they have a Stiltonberry, Honey, and Elf-Ear to hopefully make a yummy salad!
Maybe they decide to see if a Lady’s Grace flower may be accepted - surely Rose knows how to prepare it safely?
Do they hope Rose knows what to use a Golden Cabbage for?
Perhaps they hand over some Rapsberry - maybe the peppermint-tasting fruit could be good for something?
Or maybe they hand in some Fabric Soup? It’s worth a shot...
