View source for Alvir, The Throat That Roars

Alvir is the fourth soul of [[Hrotsvitha]], a demon of the Second Circle and one of the most inventive chefs in all Creation. His style refuses to abide by the common rules of cooking, nor the complex theorems of terrestrial essence applied by those most devoted to the craft; Alvir prefers to cook with a wild abandon for convention to bring about equally extreme reactions from his audience.


It was not always so for Alvir, for he had served another role within the pantheon of souls that make up [[Isidoros]]. But at some distant time lost to myth, on his frequent summonings to Creation, he became enamored with the delicacies of local cuisines. When returned to the stomach of [[Malfeas]] he set himself to mastering the craft in his spare years, without care for the stringent rules of '''[[Motonic Gastronomy]]''' that restrained divine cuisine. In time the most bold of the Celestial Exalted discovered this new use for their servant, with decadent Princes of the Earth vying with each other over Alvir's inventions. 


Alvir's past is forgotten to the sorcerers of the fallen Age of Sorrows, who know him only by his chosen title as the Throat That Roars. Most famous of his monstrous wonders is a horn of plenty, a black and twisted antler in which he stores thousands of rare and exotic ingredients to be conjured fresh at a whim, though he maintains lesser tools of brass and orichalc as well. At present he serves within the [[Crystal Palace]] at behest of Princess Mnemon as head of her kitchen staff; those few Dynasts who interact with the ancient demon find it near impossible to see banquets completed unless they care to address it only by its title and never by its true name.
