Food

The Azāstār diet is varied and filled with spices. The savannahs and jungle of the islands provide the Azāstār with plenty of grazing meat and fruits to adorn them. Of particular popularity is gazelle, seasoned with saffron and tumeric on a bed of rice filled with pomegranate seeds. However, such lavish food is saved for great feasts or the rich and powerful to consume. Therefore, the most common dishes tend to be vegetable and fruit stews with less expensive spices to season them such as bay leaves, mustard seeds and, coriander. Still, owing to the large population of traders in Azāstārian society, spices and herbs are easy to come by, and even the poorest household has a selection of luxury spices for celebrations.
