Herot

the cookbook author of the 16th edition

Author of the sixteenth edition Dungeon Anarchist's Cookbook who made waking NPCs his life's work.

Story so far

When Arief reveals that most of the city's NPCs know about their past lives and that Juice Box has awakened them, Carl thinks immediately of Herot, the cookbook author of the sixteenth edition, who made waking NPCs up his life's work. Carl remembers Herot's final, heart-wrenching entry in the Dungeon Anarchist's Cookbook.

He wonders whether Herot managed to survive, and if he did, whether he is watching this right now. Carl decides probably not: if Herot is alive, he would likely still be working in the dungeon somewhere, since he had wanted to be a game guide. Carl does not know if he made it. The city full of Awakened NPCs stands as the fulfillment of Herot's project either way.
