Rations

Rations, is the overarching term relating to the consumables (food and drink) administered to the people of Skeyer. While standard drinking water is obtainable through common household sources, beverages from rations were generally once in a while, and usually alcoholic, additions to aid in uplifting the spirits of people. Despite rations being a common workday reward and a standard payment among the Conarians, the process used for their creation are unique and stem from historical roots in Skeyer. Prior to the arrival of the Prophet and the Essence, the people of Skeyer would commonly dine upon genetically modified crops initially created to survive the Great Darkness and then transferred into the dome upon its completion. The crops were able to thrive until the Essence arrived and plagued all of the croplands, destroying the fertility of the soil. With the inability to modify new crops to work with the Essence, they looked to the Essence and the Prophet for a solution. This solution came in the form of rations, varied foods created from the power of the Essence and recycled materials; and beverages served, occasionally being obtained through the remaining stockpile leftover from Skeyer’s initial upbringing, and other times through using the Essence to convert drinking water. There were some complaints and concerns about the safety of the newfound food source but over time they diminished and rations are now a common sight in Skeyer, however, they are still limited to a set amount per person and are rewarded as a form of payment after completing a day’s work.
The common foodstuffs found in a standard ration vary on a day to day basis to allow a balanced diet for the Conarians. The most common appearances being bread, a form of meat, and an alternation of either a fruit or vegetable. Additionally, during ceremonial or religious events, the people are presented with the option of adding an additional consumable item of their choice to the day’s ration. The Feudal Lords and noblemen, being those who produce the rations, inherently hold the power to decide the exact amounts and the kinds of rations both they, and the general populace, receive on any given day.
