Personal history
From Krakenclaw, a far-flung island on the edge of the Empire, Tiara worked even as a child helping her mother out in the kitchen and taproom of her inn. Always fascinated with flavours and the strange things that can be used to season food, she began to experiment in a childish way with all kinds of crazy ingredients. In one notable incident, she prepared a toad she caught herself with some mushrooms she harvested from the wild and had an epiphany - as the world turned bright with divine light and her connection with all things blossomed as an innate pit-of-the-stomach understanding - she knew: The Spice is Life and out there in the world, the clues of divinity are hidden in nature that will lead to The First Spice - the divine origin of all flavour and that when correctly combined, mere flavours have mystical and magical effects.Since then, she has been searching for new flavours and ingredients, funding her travels by selling her skills to ships and traveling parties as well as to ports of call. Just two weeks ago, she landed in Cliffport and has been performing in various taverns, inns and market places, selling her exotic creations and researching the local culinary customs as well as exploring the immediate surroundings for new wild ingredients.
