Overview[]

The Soup Stone[]
The Soup Stone is a tainted treasure. Concerned for the welfare of her people, Geraldine was overjoyed to receive the Stone from King Finn. It is an enchanted stone that makes nourishing and delicious soup when added to water. The stone will fill a pot with six quarts of soup once a week. Though it will sustain mortals, they should not eat the soup more than once a week or they will become enchanted. The drawback is that fae who eat the soup every week for a month find that other food no longer has any taste. They can only be satisfied with the soup from the Stone which, while somewhat nourishing, cannot take the place of a balanced diet. Refusing to eat any other dish, a changeling could starve themself to death. Geraldine is currently much thinner than she should be. Nonetheless, she will fight anyone who tries to take the Stone from her tooth and nail as she is utterly addicted to the soup. She has lots of supporters who would do anything to protect "the duch."
