📜 Lore of the Hoard

The warriors of Flamegrill Ridge believe a person’s character can be judged by how they cook a steak. Apprentices spend years mastering fire control before being allowed to prepare the clan’s ceremonial feast. Legend tells of a Red Dragon champion who cooked a flawless steak during a thunderstorm without losing a single ember from his fire, a feat still celebrated around the hearths today. 🔴🐉
