📜 Lore of the Hoard

The sailors of Tidebreaker Bay have long relied upon chowder to warm them after battling rough seas. Large cauldrons simmer continuously in harbour taverns, with fresh fish added whenever boats return to shore. Legend says a Blue Dragon sea captain once survived a week-long storm sustained only by bowls of chowder brought to him by his crew. Ever since, the dish has been considered a symbol of resilience, good fortune, and safe passage across dangerous waters. 🌊🐉
