The culinary guild brings together the practitioners of the various professions creating attribute-enhancing consumables for the clan. Butchers, Chefs, Bakers, and Brewers often share common ingredients, so the Culinary Guild exists to ensure that each profession has what it needs to keep the clan well-fed, and our guild members progressing in their mastery of their chosen profession(s).
Our coat of arms is argent, a plain cross sanguine, representing the sacrifice of Christ. In each quadrant are charges representing each profession within the guild:
A wheat sheaf representing the Worshipful Company of Bakers A cauldron representing the Worshipful Company of Cooks A flask representing the Worshipful Company of Brewers, Vintners, and Distillers A boar representing the Worshipful Company of Butchers
A message from the guild leader:
Dear fellow food nerds,
My goal is first and foremost to maximize your fun per hour. If you’re not having fun playing this game, then what’s the point? If I’m ever standing in the way of you enjoying your gaming time, I want you to tell me. I want to help our professions collaborate smoothly, and have our members progress toward mastery efficiently, but never at the cost of your enjoyment of the game. DM me on Discord any time with concerns.
After that, my priorities (in order) are as follows:
Maintain a defined level of stock for each item in the Food Guide. Keep sufficient stock of ingredients to quickly replenish our supply of the Food Guide items. Pay particular attention to intermediate ingredients that require a time-bound craft, e.g. drink bases, Flour, Malt, and Yeast, keeping a significant stock of each on hand, so we don’t have to wait on a crafter to replenish the Food Guide stocks. Build up a stock of lower level ingredients, so that someone seeking to level one of our professions can do so quickly, minimizing gathering and crafting time. Let’s do this!

Professions
The Worshipful Company of Butchers specializes in processing raw animal carcasses into useful cuts of meat for the cooks, as well as the preparing of cooked and cured meats for the clan.
Charcuterie needs to be more carefully governed than other professions; the clan’s animal carcasses often need to be butchered with high level skills in order for Cooks to have the ingredients they need. If you want to level Charcuterie using clan carcasses, please coordinate with Max, Ella, or Liandra.
You are, of course, always free to level your skills using materials you gathered.
The Worshipful Company of Cooks prepares all of the stews, syrups, and porridges to keep the clan well-fed.
The Worshipful Company of Bakers mills grain into flour and bakes the breads that fortify the clan’s knights in their daily activities.
The Worshipful Company of Brewers, Vintners, and Distillers concocts all of the alcoholic beverages consumed by the clan, including Meads, Beers, Ales, Ciders, Wines, and Spirits.

Storage
Any chest in the storage walls can be referenced with a unique “address”. Section number, then 1 to n left to right, then 1 to n top to bottom. with 1.1 being the top left and 9.4 being the bottom right (not that any of our walls have 26 columns). So for example, White Grapes are in 1.3.1, 1.3.2, 1.3.3, and 1.3.4. That’s a whole column, so you might see it described as 1.3.* or 1.3.x, but in any event, if you go to section 1, it’s the 3th column from the left, in the top two chests. Likewise, if you’re looking for Bear Round Meat, you’d find that in section 3 (the rightmost on the main wall), on the bottom row (where all the bear is), in columns 6 and 7.
