Hoard<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Northwatch Keep marks the edge of the known northern frontier, where icy winds sweep across the mountains and snow falls for much of the year. The keep&#8217;s cooks became famous for preparing enormous cauldrons of onion gravy to feed the guards stationed along the walls. Before every night watch, soldiers would gather in the mess hall for plates piled high with sausages, mash, and gravy. Many veterans claim that a good serving of Northwatch Sausage &amp; Mash is worth more than a suit of armour on a freezing winter evening. \u26aa\ud83d\udc09<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Standing guard along the frozen frontier, the soldiers of Northwatch Keep rely on simple meals that deliver warmth, comfort, and enough energy to endure the harsh northern winters.
