Pembrick, Ollister Bahbert--A consummate traveler and naturalist from Anniera, and President of the Occasional Greengrocer’s Alliance of Pennybridge. His vigorous writing style and tragic personal history (including many failed romances and uncountable instances of gobbling) are contained in his ten-volume Creaturepedia, which documents the discovery, habits, weaknesses, and taste of nearly every creature known to Aerwiar.

Pumpkin stew--In 3/562, Hollish cook Francie O’Dorman was faced with a bumper crop of pumpkins, in thanks partly to her dog, Lona, who had eaten several pumpkins the year before and left their seeds scattered in the garden. Francie rose to the challenge, however, and kept her neighbors supplied with many new pumpkin delicacies, from pancakes to juice blends to stew. To this day, Hollowsfolk love pumpkin in all forms, and the annual Pumpkin Stew Recipe Contest in Ban Rona is the most heated nonviolent competition in all of Dang. It is widely considered, however, that Elenna Yrsa of Ban Rona is currently unmatched in pumpkin cookery.
