📜 Lore of the Hoard

The harbour of Coral Bay is famed throughout the realm for its seafood markets and crystal-clear waters. Every evening, fishermen return with baskets overflowing with shellfish and prawns. Legend tells of a Blue Dragon captain who demanded a meal worthy of a victorious voyage, and the harbour cooks responded with garlic, butter, and the finest prawns they could find. The captain reportedly ordered three servings and declared it the finest meal he’d eaten in any port. 🌊🐉
