Zadók is very excited for you to experience some Temámir hospitality... and as a side dish he may be fishing for compliments about his cooking.
'You are a fresh visitor to Furukzahar! No, do not seek to deny it! Does this mean you have never sampled any of my renowned cooking? You have not lived until you have tasted such delicacies as I and my kitchen provide for the residents of the fortress! You simply must, my new friend, and when you have eaten your fill you will come back to me and tell me how you cannot believe you have ever praised any other food in all your life. They will seem like swill to you after this day!
'There is a custom among my people, however: you must serve a meal before you taste your own. Here, I will give you some plates of food to bring to the hall outside. Set them upon the counters so others can help themselves, and then you can have your own meal. I will await your satisfied review!'
You were given plates of food to leave on the counters in the Furukzahar feasting-hall before you can eat your own meal.
You were given plates of food to leave on the counters in the Furukzahar feasting-hall before you can eat your own meal.
You have satisfied the Temámir custom of serving a meal before eating your own, and can now enjoy it yourself.
Zadók can be found in the Kitchens of Furukzahar if you enjoyed the meal, and if you did not you were told to voice your displeasure to Alem outside the fortress instead.
