📜 Lore of the Hoard

The Frost Dragons of Iceveil Keep believe every great feast should end with something warm enough to thaw even the coldest winter night. Sticky Toffee Pudding became their favourite dessert after a travelling baker sought shelter during a blizzard and shared his treasured recipe. Generations later, the pudding remains a symbol of warmth, hospitality, and comfort throughout the frozen realms. ❄️🐉
