Kiyogorou

Merchants in The Crystal Highlands of Armaria will tell you Kiyogorou’s steamed buns are the finest delicacy this side of the empire. They see an artisan in a food-stained apron, their face a stark mask of kabuki paint, and assume it’s a theatrical quirk. They are mistaken. Kiyogorou was a palace cook, the last one to see Princess Genkei alive before their sibling's assassins struck. They made a vow to Genkei's vengeful spirit that justice would be served not with a sword, but from a bowl. Every customer who praises the complex, unforgettable flavor has no idea they are simply a test subject for the final, perfect recipe.
