The usual options for comestibles displays almost infinite variety according to race and region. As the variety of visitors to an establishment increases, so too increase the chances of encountering a being with an appetite that cannot be satisfied by the local menu. Whether serving an individual with an aversion to the usual fare, a guest from a race with dietary restrictions imposed by philosophy or physiology, or a guest with a jaded palate looking for a new dining experience, the host has a sacred duty to provide food and refreshment. What's a inn-keeper to do?
Legends say that at the center of the Garden of Eden two trees grew together:
the Tree of Knowledge and the Tree of Life. Drawing on inspiration from these
legends, this significantly enhanced fruit can be described as a distant cousin to
those legendary fruits. Except, of course, the miracle of these fruits
is limited to simply providing nourishment for the body and senses, regardless
of physiology. (For
immortality, you must find and eat of the fruit of the legendary Tree of Life.
Hey, how hard could it be to find a tree or two in a garden? Well, okay, the
garden was hidden away long ago by a disappointed god. And there is at least one
angel standing guard with a fiery sword, if legends are to be believed. If
legends are to be believed, most of the trouble today stems can be attributed to
choosing the wrong tree to eat from. And... there may... or may not... not be a
certain "helpful" serpent still in residence, offering advice....)
The golden-skinned fruit of life resembles a pear in shape and size. Thin golden
skin covers a pulpy red fruit, brimming with pleasant tasting juice that
balances sweet with tart. With a taste calling to mind the first dewfall of the
first morning, this fruit perfectly embodies the concept of fresh and everything
that fresh is supposed to be.
The fruit and juice of this fruit practically glow with vitality and health.
Life in conjunction with Matter and Prime creates a universally nourishing substance. Mind
affects the emotional centers, creating the physiological changes associated
with pleasure in virtually any race or species possessing both a mind to feel
pleasure and a body that
require feeding. (Most non-corporeal races have a hard time consuming tangible
items as food, preferring various flavors of energy instead.) Prime is used in
creating a quintessential pattern for the fruit, and stores the small bit of
quintessence contained within the fruit.
