📜 Lore of the Hoard

The marsh settlement of Duskmire sits where several trade routes meet, bringing spices from distant lands into the Black Dragon territories. Local cooks became masters of slow-simmered curries, allowing flavours to develop throughout the day while merchants exchanged tales and treasures. It is said that the aroma of a Duskmire curry can be detected long before the tavern itself comes into view, guiding hungry travellers safely through the fog. ⚫🐉
