The Lore of Ghost Eater Bathsheba of the Toadstools

Ghosts were considered a delicacy in the household of Bathsheba of the Toadstools as a young child. Her father was a famed Ghost Hunter, her mother a master of Culinary Magick. Everyday her father would return home with his bounty, and her mother would use her enchanting skills to create the finest foodstuffs. Wizards and Warriors from all over the land would travel to their small cottage in order to taste the famous ghoulish dishes.

But her father made many ghastly enemies as a Ghost Hunter, as you may imagine. And so one day, without warning, the spectral apparitions raided the cottage, in a bid to bring an end to their sworn enemy. Bathsheba's mother and father fought valiantly, but alas, the ghost raiders proved to be too much for them. Bathsheba was barely able to escape with her life.

From there, Bathsheba roamed the world on her own, sleeping in alleyways and scrounging behind taverns for food. She became friends with the local rodent populations she came across, noticing their skill for scavenging. She learned their ways and relied on them to keep her alive, forming a special bond with Nyaluin the Blue Rat, who became her most trusted companion.

As she got older, she began to become proficient in magic, emulating skills she had seen both her mother and father use. And when she received her Rune of Fire from an elderly witch who took her in, she knew what her path was. She would use her sacred fire to boil the bones of her ghostly enemies, and feast upon their ethereal bodies to quench her hunger for revenge.

And so after intense training, she returned to her ruined cottage. And she cleansed it of all the wraiths that had taken her family from her. When the ashes had settled, she made use of her mother's Magick and boiled their remains into a great stew - feeding the entirety of the surrounding village.

Stories of The Great Ghost Eater spread across the land - and once again Warriors and Wizards flocked from all over the continent in hopes of tasting the legendary foodstuffs. And it brought her great joy to take up the mantle her parents had once held. She turned the cottage into The Ghost Kitchen, a tavern for weary travelers to rest their legs and fill their bellies.

Nowadays Bathsheba leads a quiet life running The Ghost Kitchen. It's fame has reached the corners of the continent as a place where stories are spoken beneath its hearth, friends are found beside its fires, and smiles are shared between its patrons.
