The Culinary Church Institute

High up in the mountains sits a large stone monastery, able to house faculty, students, and a small army, the Culinary Institute is truly a marvel of architecture and defense.

The neutral land in which it sits extends down to the foothills of its mountain home, where large towers mark its edges and serve as control points for all those wishing to study there.

The Institute constantly sends out recruiters all across the continent to search for those with talent, and has been around long enough that all of the prominent political figureheads are alumni of it.

They have also amassed their own militia, the Knights of the Harvest, in order to take the responsibility of defending Cuisine from the lingering forces of the Rot from any individual nation, allowing their students to obtain military experience and real battle expertise before graduating.

After the Great Food Fight, Saint Sauté was asked by the King of Cordon Bleu to do as Pansear had done before and travel across Cuisine teaching all those able about Gastronomy, but she refused. She instead worked with all three nations to carve a neutral area of land in the middle of the mountains and founded the Institute, a neutral place, where all from across Cuisine would be able to learn skills and the teachings of the Triple goddess regardless of nobility, bloodline, or nation of origin.

Originally founded by Saint Sauté, 3 years after the Great Food War, the Institute is now led by the most recent in a line of Archbishops of the Triple Fudge Goddess, Lady Raclette.
