   Keys: Background, Backstory, Lore

   A chef forced to be a contestant in the Festival of Termina. Henryk is a 32-year-old chef from the Kingdom of Rondon with an acute taste for ingredients. Not much is known about his past and seems adamant about keeping his life secret if prompted to speak up about it. Henryk's parents ran a tavern called Klimkov's, where he also worked but was always dreaming about becoming someone important, capable of creating something such as an artist, musician or actor. He eventually "dipped his toes in everything", but did not take well to rejection and in the end gave up those plans. At his younger years he was also a bartender for some time, having had a fling with a female pianist that worked at the same place as he did. Eventually, Henryk ran out of money and, out of necessity, decided to go back his parents' tavern where he started to cook meals. In the end, his natural talent for the culinary arts flourished to a point that Klimkov's became famous, even becoming the subject of an article on local newspapers. Now embracing this talent, he frequently travelled to find new culinary inspiration - one can imagine it is one of his reasons to travel to Prehevil, as he seems fascinated by local delicacies and ingredients. Henryk appears to be very passionate about cooking food, having traveled to Prehevil to explore its cuisine. His attitude could seem rather perverted towards the women he takes interest in, since his first interaction with the player character is of him commenting on Abella's rear and flirting with her. When among the other contestants, Henryk endeavors to be useful by cooking meals for everyone, perhaps as a way to avoid conflict and appear non-threatening. However, as the festival progresses and the deadline approaches, he becomes increasingly anxious about the time limit, and he may resort to extreme measures if the opportunity presents itself... Has a Suffocated soul.

   Keys: Rondon

   Rondon held a position of utmost significance in the vast domain of western civilization. This nation was born from the union of countless once-warring nations and tribes, who finally united under a single banner. Proclaiming their allegiance to the divine will of the gods, the Kingdom of Rondon relentlessly pursued greater power and influence. However, the journey was not without its trials, as they grappled with developmental challenges that had to be overcome. Records reveal that Rondon faced conflicts with neighboring nations at various points in its history. Notably, Gaelia, the highlands located to the north of Rondon, engaged in battles against Rondon knights during the 12th century. Additionally, the Eastern Sanctuaries experienced the occupation of their capital city, Jettetiah, by Rondon forces during the 16th century. During this long era of growth and expansion, the kingdom's endeavors would eventually use the forces of a modest yet formidable mercenary force, celebrated as the Knights of the Midnight Sun around the year 1590, as the kingdom further expanded its dominion. At some juncture in history, Rondon also earned the reputation of being a center of knowledge, boasting great libraries that housed an extensive collection of human history and scientific wisdom. The kingdom is notable in that it houses the infamous Dungeons of Fear and Hunger, which are used by the Rondon monarchs and lords as a place to send their convicted criminals to be housed in. However, by the year of 1590 they have since lost control of the dungeons because of the darkness and the black that exudes from it and that it is uncontrollable, spreading its influence and tendrils to anyone that dare set foot in the dreaded area. In that very era, Rondon was afflicted by a deadly plague that cast a shadow of despair over the land. Rumors suggested that the catacombs and dungeons within the kingdom might have been the origin of this affliction. Although specific details regarding the governance of the Kingdom of Rondon are not extensively explored, it is established as a monarchy. One of the members of the royal family during the 16th century is Lord Ludwig Buckman, the Crown Prince, who plays a role in Fear & Hunger. Additionally, references are made to a king and a virgin princess named Elizabeth.

   While the religious beliefs of the Kingdom of Rondon were not an extensive topic in the series, accounts attest to an emphasis on the cult of Alll-mer as their primary god within its borders. This devotion might even predate the widespread popularity of the deity across the world, as historical evidence reveals the existence of a long lineage of holy knights who served the kingdom in the name of the Ascended god - D'arce Cataliss, one of the protagonists of the first game, was a holy knight for the majority of her adult life. The capital of Rondon boasts a sacrificial statue dedicated to this same deity, standing as a testament to the kingdom's devotion. However, it is also known that some individuals afflicted with the plague during the 16th century placed blame upon the Old gods, viewing them as the source of their suffering and turned their hopes towards the New gods, believing that these deities would be the harbingers of light in their dark times. Among these New Gods, one divine assembly stood in the spotlight of worship during those ancient days - the Fellowship. Artefacts from that era bear testament to the reverence bestowed upon this group. Figures that resemble The Mourning One, an entity regarded as a saint in other places of Europa, are spotted at Rondon as well, adding to the religious tapestry of the kingdom. In 1942, Rondon remains a functioning kingdom, navigating the complexities of the Second Great War. It formed alliances with the Eastern Union and Oldegård to confront the Bremen Empire. The absence of further mentions of the plague suggests that it was likely resolved during the Cruel Age, a period marked by remarkable scientific achievements.
