Ganny Elda loves to cook and all those that make and enjoy food cooked with love and pride. She delights in young children making messes while they learn at their mother's side and in skilled chefs showing their prowess with culinary masterpieces. She enjoys simple comfort food and dishes that require a high degree of skill to create. There are few that know her true form or where she came from, though all who have been contacted by Ganny Elda say she acts like a kindly grandmother that is quick to offer a hot meal or snack to those that treat her with respect and her wickedly sharp tongue to those that forget their manners. Most of all, she disdains complex, exacting recipes and pedantic terms. Kobolds, however, claim without any doubts that Ganny Elda was once a kobold herself before becoming an Empyreal Lord. It's not something the normally proud race seem to enjoy either.
Her teachings are passed through recipe cards, cookbooks, and oral instruction. Many of her followers are cooks and chefs, but just as many are gourmets and connoisseurs of various dishes. Meetings of her cult are called "tastings" where members share their latest culinary adventures and sample new dishes. Many of her clerics are cooks and chefs, using their culinary skills in worship to the Divine Cook, every dish a prayer and an offering and the sounds of the kitchen a hymn.
Ganny Elda, despite her occasional bouts of mischief, gets along well with Cayden Cailean, Erastil, and Shelyn. She despises Urgathoa and her gluttonous hedonism, however, and there are tales of Ganny Elda whacking the undead goddess on the wrist when she tried to sneak some snacks from her kitchen.
I'd like to thank one of my players, John Gs, for helping me come up with this. I hope you all enjoy it. :)
Great job
