Urua

Urua is the most celebrated chef in the Teikodian Empire, yet they cannot taste a single dish they create. The sense was scorched from them years ago while apprenticing for a paranoid general, after “testing” a dish laced with a rare, transformative fungus meant for their master. Instead of despair, Urua found precision. They learned to cook by sound, by the texture of steam, and by the memory of every flavor they had ever known. Their other senses sharpened to an impossible degree. Through their hip specs, they see not just ingredients, but the faint auras of magic clinging to them—an ability that once allowed them to point out the real Sakkaku amidst a hall of shimmering illusions. They serve dishes of sublime perfection, gauging success only by the expressions of their patrons; each is a flawless memory served on a plate.
