Notes: The persistent rumors of cannibalism surrounding the mountain kingdoms of Ceres and Valeria no doubt owe themselves in part to the madness of the last King of Valeria, before it was conquered by Ceres. However, in this particular case it's a simple case of mistranslation. The folk recipe in question is actually "lizard tail stew," made from a large rock-dwelling lizard that's local to the Windhome mountains, the komodo lizard. Unfortunately, the name for this animal sounds very similar to kodomo, the Nihongo word for "child." Hence the confusion.
