Starberry Pie

The Starberry Pie is Harmony Heights' signature dessert. The pie is sweet with a slight bit of tartness from the berries. The crust is flaky and baked to perfection in Drannor's stone oven. Drannor was inspired by the closeness of the heavens at the mountaintop and wanted his dessert to reflect the beauty of the night sky.  
It tastes as heavenly as it looks!

Locally Sourced

Starberries are native to the mountain summits of The Ironfang Mountains and Icewraith Expanse. Drannor dedicated an entire row of his roof-top garden to Starberry plants to keep a steady supply of them on hand throughout their long seasonal availability. Unfortunately, the berry harvest is quite poor this year on account of the disastrous weather conditions caused by The Ashen Eclipse and The Infernal Deluge.  

Rave Reviews

After a particularly prominent food critic from Copperhill reviewed the pie, reservations for the spa increased nearly three-fold from the previous season.  
Last year, I almost missed the caravan leaving Harmony Heights and returning to Summitstone Hold... I may have been in the bakery buying pies to take home at the last second.

Secret Recipe

Drannor guards the recipe for Starberry pie jealously. He spent years perfecting the dish and believes it is the culmination of his life's work as a baker. After a guest who became obsessed with the pie broke into his office, Drannor has been keeping the recipe under lock and key. He's been baking so many of these pies over the years that he doesn't need to read the recipe cards anyway.

That pie looks soooo tasty. I would keep the recipe under lock and key too. Shame about the poor harvest this year. :(

I was really lucky with the pie. I ran out of Midjourney hours (more coming this afternoon). Had trouble thinking of a cuisine but I had generated this pie months ago and it felt like a good fit.   Don't worry, we're giving the folks of Akir a hard time at the start of the story but nearly everyone will have a happy ending when the story finishes. :)
