texture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\ud83d\uddfa\ufe0f Adventurer&#8217;s Notes<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\ud83c\udf0a Blue Dragon Catch<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Use whatever fish is freshest and available at the market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\ud83e\uddc0 Harbourmaster&#8217;s Upgrade<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mix mature cheddar directly into the mashed potatoes before baking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2694\ufe0f Captain&#8217;s Feast<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Serve with buttered greens and warm crusty bread.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\ud83c\udf4b Tidecaller Addition<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p

tastes even better the following day once the flavours have settled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\ud83d\udcdc Lore of the Hoard<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The people of Stormreef have always respected the sea, knowing it can be both generous and unforgiving. When fishing vessels returned after battling fierce storms, the harbour kitchens would prepare enormous fish pies to feed entire crews. The rich sauce and golden potato topping quickly became symbols of safety, warmth, and a successful return home. To this day, no celebration in Stormreef feels complete without a fish pie at the centre of the table. \ud83c\udf0a\ud83d\udc09<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Beneath the towering cliffs of Stormreef, Blue Dragon clans have long relied upon the sea&#8217;s bounty to sustain their coastal settlements.
