Kar’nem Stew

Mor’drath kar’nem,
bileth ur’gar,
phoros mar’gul.
Uthrath, carne che non muore.
  A stew of rotten meat braised in mud and bile. Whoever tastes it becomes slow but inexorable: the flesh heals itself and the pain doesn't stop it.  

Instructions

 
  1. Awaken the Meat
    • Leave the kar’nem in the open air for a night so the “Rot-Wind” touches it.
    • Hack it into uneven chunks.
  2. Build the Mud Cauldron
    • In a cauldron, mix mar’gul mud with bile (ur’gar) until it forms a thick, bubbling sludge.
    • Heat slowly until fumes sting the eyes.
  3. Add the Meat
    • Drop in the rotted meat.
    • Stir clockwise only—counter-clockwise is said to “let death escape”.
  4. Feed the Decay
    • Crush the mordrath bulbs and let their spores fall into the stew.
    • Add thorn-ashes and the ladle of Eternal Fat.
  5. Simmer for Hours
    • Cook until the meat stops dissolving—legend says this means “it refuses to die”.
  6. Serve Thick
    • The stew should be nearly tar-like.
    • Whoever eats it becomes slow but unstoppable, muscles knitting even while burning.
