Sealed Recipes

✦

Beneath the Common Hall, behind three iron doors and a lock that has never been duplicated, lies the Vault. Here, the Guild's most sacred culinary knowledge is preserved in iron-bound tomes, wax-sealed scrolls, and clay tablets older than the Guild itself. Access is granted by rank. Tampering is punishable by permanent expulsion.
