Salad Fork of Ergothian Dressing
donated by Stumbletoe Ropeknotter
Description: The Salad Fork looks like any other
fork, but with slightly longer
teeth. Also, it has a slightly bluish
tint to it when reflected in light.
History: The Salad Fork of Ergothian
Dressing was created by a
renegade kender wizard, who
loved to eat salad but never had
enough dressing. One day, a
friend of his suggested the answer
to his problems -- a magical fork
that made dressing appear on top
of any salad it touched. The
kender wizard immediately went to
work, and emerged three days
later with the Salad Fork.
Unfortunately, he apparently
miscast a spell -- instead of his
favorite Haven Style Dressing, he
was treated to a helping of the
blood-red Ergothian blend. Angry
at his failure, the made through it
out the window, where it has since
passed into kender mythology.
How it Works: Whenever the Salad Fork touches
a leaf lettuce salad, a glob of
Ergothian Dressing appears on the
top of the lettuce. The user then
mixes the dressing in with the
salad, and eats. Unfortunately,
there are few in the world who
actually like Ergothian Dressing, and
thus the Fork has been cycled
freely throughout Hylo,
Kendermore, and a large part of
Solamnia. Strangely, it has never
been taken to Ergoth. |
