📜 Lore of the Hoard

The scouts of the Ashen Frontier often cooked over open flames while patrolling the volcanic borderlands. After successful expeditions, they would gather around great iron skillets piled high with sliced beef and charred vegetables. Over time, these sizzling feasts became known as Inferno Fajitas, a tradition still celebrated throughout the Red Dragon territories whenever warriors return home victorious. 🔴🐉
