CHEESE. A gift of the divine, a treasure of the Ivöri, and a blessing from the Most Holy.

Revered across lands and graced by the palate of the fortunate, cheese epitomizes the culinary artistry of the Ivöri people. Yet, amidst all the cheeses of the world, none can rival the splendor of those born of Mount Vindicta. Here, in the heart of Ivoria, generations of cheesecraft have been perfected, with manifold blessings bestowed upon each wheel to achieve a perfection once only known to the famous Ivöri centurion, the Fat Chef Frank. 

 

The time has come to immortalize the wonders of our cheese and to shield its legacy from the rising threat of imitation. With this Edict of Fromagerie, the Principate seeks to enshrine the standards of Ivöri cheesecraft, ensuring that no pretender may tarnish our art nor diminish the esteem in which it is held.

Gottfried Von Lucerne reads over the missive while dining on some fine cheese, "By all that is holy and GOOD! I will strike down anyone who dares to whistle near our gloriously incandescent IVORI CHEESE!" He takes a final bite, filling his stomach. Ivori Cheese can fill the stomach of a grown man, nothing else is needed for sustenance, as GOTT intended.

In the wee hours of the night, Henrik's head bobbed over a book that was filled to the brim with the history surrounding the fine craft of CHEESE. It was an exhausting process, but to become a judge of cheese it would take years of tutoring. All he could hope for is that he would manage such an expertise in time.

A grin grew on his face as he abandoned the scents, trailing into the kitchen. Sniffling deeply, he proclaimed. "Finally, something that brings true happiness." reaching for the best cheese in the world with childlike joy.
