Caught the 'Monster of Mistveil' actually trying to bake pastries in the woods?

So I was hiking near the lower border of the Frostclaw range—which I know, I shouldn't be that close to the miasma—when I saw this massive white tiger beastman sitting on a boulder. He was holding a recipe book with his giant, clawed hands and looking absolutely miserable. He kept growling at a tray of burnt dough like he was about to rip it to shreds, but then he'd stop, huff, and gently adjust the heat with his fingertips. I thought this guy was supposed to be a bloodthirsty warlord? He looked more like a stressed college student trying to pass a home-ec final. Any idea what's going on with the lord of the Dominion?

That's . If you see him this focused on baking, you are way too close to his personal domain. Back away before he notices you.

Reply to Kaelen_Frost: Wait, is that really him? He looks… actually kind of domestic?

Wait, that's definitely the guy from the rumors. Are you sure he wasn't practicing for some weird ritual?

Reply to MountainWalker99: Zero rituals. Just looked like he really, really wanted that dough to rise. He even let out a weird, low vibrating sound when he poked it.

If you ask me, he just looks like he's trying way too hard to be human. It's almost sad.

I've heard he has a 'guest' in the lair. Maybe that's the reason for the change?

I'm more interested in who he's learning to bake for. The guy lives in a cavern alone.

He's always been a warlord. This must be some kind of trap. Don't fall for the 'soft' look.

As a baker, that dough looks like it didn't rest long enough. No wonder he's angry.

The 'bloodthirsty' label is so outdated. My cousin says he's just incredibly territorial, but the baking thing is new. Imagine being the one he's trying to impress.
