"A recipe has no soul. You as the cook must bring soul to the recipe."
 
Cooking is considered an art by many people across the world, and it isn't often that chefs of all types get the opportunity to participate in a showcase of their best plates. The adventurer guild, Blades of the Promised Land, has taken it upon themselves to host a cooking contest for all to participate in. Spectators could play mini-games and enjoy themselves as the contest progressed in front of the Blades Headquarters. There were dishes from all over the Six, from Lordwanian seafood to Onigan dessert dumplings.

There were many participants in the ever-evolving fierce battle of cuisine, leading up to three finalists that repeatedly received cheer and support from the audience anticipating the winner results. A member of the Blades, a member of the Dormeho Militia, and an independent were the ones to make it to the last showdown of the food wars.
 

 
Tension filled the air as the finalists determinedly fought in order to get the title of the Orichalum Chef, investing their best efforts to express their culinary arts to the crowd. In the end, the winners' places had been announced for all to hear. They spoke their feelings on it all without hesitation in their voices.

 

"It is the warmth of hearth that fills the heart with joy, and thus it is only fair that the hearth of home should bring a good meal to ones table. Always remember family, for they bring a experience like no other."

-Darryn Richter of the Blades, 3rd place.

"I aimed for the top, but since the award is called Orichalum, the young rookie took home first. I guess I'm truly the unmatched chef."
-Ardnaid Senrab, owner of The Bravest Snack Stall, 2nd place.

"Just follow your heart and stand in the face of your fear, even if your legs want to give up from anxiety, yeah."

-Akito Taishi of the Dormeho Militia, 1st place.

 

 

Word regarding the cooking contest quickly spread among friends and newspaper deliveries alike. It seems people had a memorable time.

 

The organizers of the event declined to comment whether or not there will be a follow-up, but one may get the feeling this won't be the last show.
