Food

Food items (basic and recipe) can only be consumed outside of combat. They do not play an animation, but only one food effect can be on a character at a time. Thus, eating another food item replaces the effects of an earlier item if it is still in effect. Unlike drugs, foods only have beneficial effects, but they tend to be relatively small in value. Recipe-based foods are much less common and provide stronger bonuses.

Attribute bonuses are never more than +1 for basic food and drink. If an item on this list grants a bonus to multiple stats, it tends to have a shorter duration.

	Dragon Egg	Instant	User: +3 Resolve for 300 sec	400cp
While full-grown dragons can grow to titanic proportions, their eggs start out just larger than a human torso. They make for very filling meals, if one is willing to brave the risk of raiding a nest.
	Farmer’s Spread	Instant	User: +3 Move Speed, +2 Might for 300 sec	1cp
Dyrwoodan farmers, especially in Tenferths, make heavy use of this egg-based spread for their workday meals. The Tenferthers, renowned for their unflappable nature and rustic stoicism, are often the butt of jokes involving their humble food. The more good-natured jokes feature Tenferthers accidentally putting the whole eggshell in the spread and eating it all without complaint. Mean-spirited jokes involve the Tenferthers impassively eating stones, chicken feathers, nails, and other appalling substances that somehow got mixed up in the spread.

	Pearlwood Chicken	Instant	User: +10 Max Endurance, +2 Constitution for 300 sec	1cp
Pearlwood chicken is common among the settlers along the Pearl Coast and Defiance Bay, but its popularity has not spread far north or abroad. Locals claim that the dwarves of Talaneir were responsible for inventing the dish. Given the odd assembly of ingredients, often a notable feature of dwarven cuisine, many are inclined to accept the claim at face value. There are rumors that the Duc of Ozia has become fond of Pearlwood chicken, supposedly using greybreast chickens imported, live, all the way from Old Vailia to suit his particular tastes. As the dish is not yet popular in the Vailian Republics, the citizens of Ozia are not sure if they should try to emulate the duc’s rumored style or vigorously deny it to foreigners.
	Casità Casserole	Instant	User: +10 Max Endurance, +2 Intellect for 300 sec	2cp
The Casità Casserole, or “Captain’s Casserole,” originated in seaside taverns within the Dyrwood, where chefs attempted to cater to Vailian trade interests by adapting foreign recipes. The results ultimately proved far more popular with the locals than visitors from the Republics, and fish casseroles remain a common dish in many Dyrwood cities.

	Duc’s Own Beefloaf	Instant	User: +10 Max Endurance, +2 Might for 300 sec	1cp
Beefloaf is a standard dish all across the Dyrwood and hundreds of families have been using the same recipe for generations. No one is quite sure how it came to be known as the ‘duc’s own,’ but two legends are widespread. The first involves Admeth Hadret, the Dyrwood’s first duc, personally making beefloaf for his captive prisoner, the Glanfathan Galven Rêgd. The orlan was supposedly so fond of the meal that he asked for the recipe and passed it on to his kin after his release. The second, more likely, tale features an unscrupulous cook, who worked for the venerable Black Hound Inn of Gilded Vale. She confided in myriad travelers that she had a recipe for the ‘duc’s own’ beefloaf—simply her own delicious recipe—and sold it to dozens of people for outrageous prices. Each victim of the ruse went on to make their beefloaf with the ‘duc’s own’ recipe, giving rise to the popular name.
	Ixamitl Ricepan	Instant	User: +5 Max Endurance, +1 Constitution, +1 Perception for 150 sec	1cp
Popular as a dinner entrée in the Ixamitl Plains, the Ixamitl ricepan has hundreds of regional and family variations. Varied as it may be, the dish is often seen as a great unifier in a culture heavily stratified by social hierarchy. Philosophers and wealthy politicians may use rare spices or finer cheeses, but its basic ingredients and ease of cooking have made it a traditional meal for all Ixamitl people. At Ixamitl wedding celebrations, it is common for the couple’s close friends and family to spend the previous day cooking enough Ixamitl ricepan to feed everyone at the celebration to come.

The snowcap mushrooms are known to be dangerous, for improperly treated samples are akin to poison. Once properly prepared, however, they can propel individuals into a trance-like state in which, it is claimed, many have received visions and portents of significance. The mushrooms feature primarily in important Glanfathan rituals, for their elders hold the secrets behind their safe use.

Svef can be traced back to provisioners in the Vailian Republics, where the markets for the plant in question enjoy rapidly rising demand. Most commonly chewed or inhaled, svef is infamous for the near-catatonic state in which it often places its adherents. Those who use it claim that the drug gives them a sense of urgency and meaning, lost when the effects fade. More colorful accounts claim that the drug allows one to look within themselves and witness the sight of their own soul.
