📜 Lore of the Hoard
The Celestial Court gathers only a handful of times each year, and every gathering is marked by an enormous Prime Rib Roast carried into the hall beneath banners of gold and white. Legend says the first Gold Dragon Emperor demanded a feast that represented the strength of his kingdom, and the royal chefs responded with this magnificent roast. To this day, no Celestial Feast is considered complete without it. ✨🐉
