The Feast of the Eternal Harvest: A Culinary War of Gods and Souls

A creeping famine grips Rehnfall, draining the land of color and its people of hope. Desperate, Elara Knott unearths the colossal, ivory skeleton of a forgotten god, its bones etched with recipes not for sustenance, but for feasts capable of bending reality. Young cook Lirien Oskald sees a chance to defy despair in these cryptic marrow-scripts, and the first feast she prepares fills the air with an unnatural luminescence, its aroma a siren call to starved bellies. Rehnfall feasts, their laughter echoing a forgotten abundance.

But this bounty comes at a hidden cost. Each bone-recipe demands a sacrifice—a memory, a dream, a sliver of the soul. Gratitude curdles into an insatiable hunger for the ephemeral joy the god’s recipes provide, unraveling the vibrant tapestry of Rehnfall into a homogenous mass driven by an incomprehensible craving.

Unbeknownst to them, the fallen god, Xylar, is not dead but dormant, feeding on their sacrifices through Lirien’s cooking, weaving its essence back into the world one shimmering dish at a time. Lirien, the unwitting vessel of Xylar’s return, becomes entangled in a spiritual tug-of-war, her culinary artistry transformed into a dangerous weapon.

Meanwhile, in the shadowed town of Oakhaven, envy festers. Jocelyn Holt, an ambitious chef, steals fragments of Xylar’s skeleton, igniting a culinary war. Lirien and Jocelyn become rival sorcerers, their kitchens battlegrounds, their dishes imbued with reality-altering magic. Skies rain mead, forests bloom with sugared plums, and rivers flow with molten chocolate—a deceptive paradise built on sacrifice and impending doom.

As the war escalates, Lirien uncovers a hidden chamber revealing Xylar’s parasitic nature, its feasts a slow drain on the very essence of her community. Aided by the guilt-ridden Elara and a reclusive herbalist, Silas, Lirien seeks a way to sever Xylar’s influence, a path that demands the destruction of the very recipes that saved them from starvation. Rehnfall fractures, divided between the promise of eternal plenty and the terrifying truth.

The Feast of the Eternal Harvest, Xylar’s planned resurrection, draws near. Lirien, wielding her culinary skills as a weapon of defiance, must make the ultimate sacrifice to save her village from a delectable damnation. In this phantasmagorical landscape where food is a battlefield, will she reclaim Rehnfall’s story or succumb to the feast of eternal harvest?
