Lore

“There is no greater joy than cooking for me.”

In the forty years he has lived, this humble culinarian has yet to win a single match in the Azim Bökh[1], and consequently has ever been considered the least radiant. While others are permitted to hunt and fight, he has been forced to remain within the safety of the encampment and prepare food for his brothers and sisters. However, this led him to discover his true calling, for he is a master of Oroniri cuisine, and even capable of replicating the recipes of other tribes.

— Encyclopedia Eorzea vol 2, page 109, "Esugen of the Oronir"
