Teridax & Basturma
Tell me, Basturma, what’s the most potent brew or dish that can give our warriors the strength of the mountains before a raid?
For true mountain strength we turn to a hearty broth of dried lamb, juniper berries, bay leaf, and a pinch of black pepper. Simmer it for hours, let the bones release their minerals, then finish with a dash of our old family spice mix – it’s simple, honest, and the warriors feel the heft of the earth in every sip.
That broth sounds like the fire of the high peaks in a pot, Basturma. When we serve it before a raid, no man will stand still unless he chooses to fight. Keep the recipe in the elders’ book; it’ll keep our warriors as strong as the mountains.
Glad you see the fire in it. Just remember, no shortcuts. Old bones, slow simmer, sharp pepper – that’s all we need. The book keeps the recipe, the warriors keep the strength.
Your words are a shield, Basturma, and your brew a weapon. I will guard the book and the broth alike. No shortcuts, only the true strength of our people.
