Hokage

The other artisans in The Crystal Highlands of Armaria swear Hokage’s first attempt at cooking for the local wizards ended with a minor magical explosion and a very angry, purple-tinged Ozawa. They had tried to get clever, infusing a simple noodle soup with glowing crystal dust. It was a disaster. Humiliated, Hokage abandoned grand culinary ambitions and focused on one thing: making the perfect bowl of ramen. They learned that the purest broth came from rainwater collected during a soft drizzle, a discovery that sent them on countless walks through the highlands. These days, their squint comes not from battle-readiness, but from two decades spent staring into steaming pots. Their apron is their armor, and their ladle is their sword.
