Lumen of the Fattened Duck is the God of Motonic Gastronomy, a style of cooking which takes a unique approach to food preparation, eschewing traditional culinary techniques in favour of applying the techniques of essence manipulation used in [[:Category:Magitech|magitech]] engineering to create dishes with revolutionary textures and flavours.

'''Motonic Gastronomy''' was a product of the High First Age, supported by that time’s advanced infrastructure and sponsorship of the Solar Exalted… indeed, it was Solars who took a personal interest in food preparation who developed many of its foundational techniques. Such sponsorship included support for the god of the style, who had formerly been god of a vitriolic cooking technique lost to Creation with the fall of the [[Primordial]]s. Lumen of the Fattened Duck was elevated to become Iron Shogun of the [[Culinary Conclave]] within the Bureau of Humanity, God of Food for all Creation.

The Usurpation knocked the supporting pillars from Lumen… the lessened world ruled by the Dragonblooded had little interest in venison foams and fruit-pearl caviars. Yet Lumen had a great deal of influence, and used it to fight off political siege from the Bronze Faction and its supporters throughout the years of the Shogunate. Though each battle cost him more of his dwindling resources, Lumen exploited allies in the Bureau of Heaven to hang on to his post, engaging in negotiations to take the entire Conclave from the Bureau of Humanity to that of Heaven.

Before the arrangements could be finalized, however, the Great Contagion erupted, and that Creation-shaking disaster was the end for Lumen: while all gods within the Culinary Conclave were weakened, one emerged on sure footing: [[Kanyor the Triumphant Infusion]], god of soups. Lumen had not counted on a coup from a god who had also worked closely with the Solars during the First Age, and when it came he found he had no defenses left to resist: he was stripped of his position as Iron Shogun, and left with only the trappings of a culinary god whose two purviews had vanished from Creation. Lumen fled from Yu-shan with little but his collection of motonic gadgetry and a burning desire to wreak terrible vengeance on the Dragonblooded who had destroyed his beloved cuisine and the god who had stabbed him in the back.

So far as Heaven is aware, Lumen is not dead, though he pays few visits to Yu-shan and many have had difficulty tracking his position in Creation over the subsequent centuries. The recently returned Solar Exalted may find an energetic ally in Lumen of the Fattened Duck when they begin their rise to once more rule over the world.
