📜 Lore of the Hoard

The Market Square of Copperhold has welcomed merchants for centuries. Long before dawn, cooks would prepare giant pans of Corned Beef Hash to feed traders setting up their stalls. Legend tells of a Copper Dragon merchant who claimed he could judge the prosperity of a town solely by the quality of its hash. Whether true or not, the dish became synonymous with honest food, hard work, and the welcoming spirit of Copper Dragon taverns. 🟤🐉
