The Golden Brown Age

The Golden Brown Age
Beginning in 5 a.s. with Pansear's arrival at Singlemalt, a new age of prosperity came to Cuisine, wherever he went the land would flourish, soil would become fertile, beasts would become docile, and life would thrive. Forests grew lush, farmlands were bountiful and civilization began to truly grow.

Pansear is said to have been capable of miraculous feats of culinary magic, and he traveled all the land teaching those who showed innate skill how to harness their abilities. Soon more chefs began to craft their own creations, develop their own styles and show off their skills, though none could compare to Pansear himself.

The Golden Brown Age is revered as one of free experimentation and creation. Chefs would create awe inducing marvels of gastronomy, mixing ingredients to create never before tasted flavors. However with this freedom to explore and create also came those who would push the limits of gastronomy too far, and this age was not without its share of chaos.

For a little over a millennia people enjoyed Pansear's gifts, and regarded him as the utmost authority in the land. They began to worship him and marveled at his never-ending experimentation. The very thing that would eventually turn their marvel into fear.
