In the fantastical chaos of Avowed's Living Lands, where gods toss lightning bolts like confetti and mortals pray to anything with a pulse (or without one), rituals reign supreme. Enter Rossana Fallo – a woman so devoted to feeding skeletons she'd swipe bread from starving orphans. It's 2025, and while food shortages turn Fior mes Iverno into a hangry battleground, Rossana's busy playing delivery driver for the deceased. Because why nourish living stomachs when you can appease bony appetites? 💀🍖

The Quest Begins: Graveyard Grub Hub

Upon stumbling into Fior mes Iverno’s Italian-esque splendor (complete with operatic accents), players encounter Rossana, who’s less ‘helpful villager’ and more ‘culinary grave robber’. She’s stolen rations to place offerings on Emerald Stairs’ graves, defiantly ignoring the living’s rumbling tummies. Accept her quest, and you’re not just a hero – you’re an accomplice in post-mortem snack distribution.

Grave Sites: Where Snacks Meet Swords

Three locations await, each guarded by irritable undead who clearly missed lunch. Here’s the buffet tour:

Location	Enemies	Challenge Level	Vibe Check
East of Truffle Farm	Skeletons & Spiders 🕷️	Easy-Peasy	Picnic with pests!
Logging Camp (South)	Undead in tight cliffs	Medium Spicy	Claustrophobic combat 😓
Northwest Chapel	Skeletons + Shadow Summons 🌑	Extra Crispy	Group therapy gone wrong 👻

First stop: Near the Truffle Farm. Skeletons and spiders brawl like toddlers over toys. Dispatch them, drop food on a quaint grave, and pretend it’s a serene picnic – if picnics involved stabbing. Next, the Logging Camp’s ocean-view gravesite. Fewer foes, but fighting in cliffside squeezes feels like wrestling in a broom closet. Finally, the northwestern chapel – where skeletons summon shadowy pals for a chaotic rave. Companions become meat-shields here; it’s less ‘noble quest’ and more ‘zombie block party’.

Moral Dilemmas: Feed Ghosts or Famished Folk?

Rossana’s ritual isn’t just dangerous – it’s ethically dubious. Players face two deliciously messy alternatives:

1. Snitch to Governor Ignasi Vidarro:

Tell him about Rossana’s theft, and he’ll shrug like a philosopher who missed Ethics 101. “Upsetting the dead? Perish the thought!” He won’t punish her, but you can donate rations to Fior’s starving citizens. Because nothing says ‘leadership’ like endorsing ghost meals during a famine. 🤷‍♂️

1. Help Ilena the Grain Merchant:

Find her in the Framer’s Market, where she hands out crumbs to the needy. Expose Rossana’s theft, and either:

• Surrender all stolen rations (if you haven’t grave-fed yet).

• Give leftover portions + 100 gold (because guilt tastes expensive). 💸

Ilena’s gratitude is heartwarming, even if your gold just funds future merchant visits. Prioritizing living humans? How revolutionary!

Rewards: XP, Trinkets, and Existential Dread

Complete Rossana’s request, and she’ll gift you 85 XP and Berath’s Blessed Ward Trinket – perfect for warding off guilt! Help Ilena instead? Score 188 XP (moral high ground pays better). Either way, you’re left pondering Avowed’s brutal truth: rituals comfort the faithful, but only XP fills your pockets.

So ends our tale of culinary necromancy and ethical gymnastics. In Avowed’s world, where gods meddle and mortals mumble prayers, Rossana’s quest proves that devotion often ignores logic. Feed skeletons, feed peasants, or just pocket the gold – because in the end, everyone’s just hungry for something. Even if it’s just a decent trinket. ⚖️✨
