Toto Ora is a fortified wine distilled from the blood of the [[Teuthemi Leviathans|Great Tahora]] usually mulled with spices and often spiked with various cheap and crude alcohols. No two batches are the same, varying wildly between brewers. While serving, each cup has a slightly different characteristic as they are poured, as well, drinkers are encouraged to add their preferred garnishes and last-minute spices to their cups. The last serving, containing sediments from the bottom of the barrel, is traditionally saved to start the next batch of Toto Ora. |

| ⚫ | For the rugged Whai, preservation of food and flexibility in diet are essential to their survival. Canned cold-cuts such as head cheese and other meat jellies--made from rendering the gelatinous connective tissue and off-cuts of Tahora--ensure that all of the noble creatures are used. Tahora head-cheese may have a lightly smoked flavor added to mask a tangy aftertaste. Love it or hate it, head-cheese on toast is a quick and classic breakfast or mid-shift meal. |

Simply spiced meatballs served on a small skewer with a sweet and sour dipping sauce. The meatballs, a relatively common ingredient in sandwiches, wraps, stews and pasta dishes of the Whai, are raised to center stage with this elegantly uncomplicated dish. They were originally a Dynaean staple before the cataclysm and traditionally are made from either lamb or pork mince, breadcrumbs, onion, and spices. Whale meat and void-farmed protein are common substitutions when terrestrial mince is unavailable. |
