Barosk is a small country famous for its agriculture and wine making. Surrounded by mountains on three sides, forests cover more than half of the country. This unique terrain creates a pleasant climate that is favored by many tourists. It is worth mentioning that wine making in Barosk dates back to over a thousand years. As such, wine is deeply engraved into its very culture. Many wineries have retained traditional wine making techniques, creating a unique fragrance that is treasured by wine lovers.

Barosk is said to be the "birthplace of wine" in other nations.

The nation of Barosk pulls inspiration from various European countries, including Switzerland (cheesemaking tradition and mountain geography, including the Alps), France (wine culture and the Burgundy/"Bergandi" region), and Slovenia (traditional cuisine). As such, its precise location is difficult to guess.

Situated in Bergandi of Barosk, Ferro Winery is one of the most prestigious first-class wineries in the world. It was cultivated as a vineyard in the mid-sixteenth century, but became famous later in the late seventeenth century. In 1660, Earl James Ferro purchased the chateau. He and his wife managed the chateau together and it eventually became a first-class winery in Barosk. Their strong partnership allowed them to build the vineyard from the ground up, but they became a symbol of romance for their powerful love of fulfilling their dream together. Ferro wine has become a must-have for special occasions and it is said that one can taste the years of hard work and love they've put into the Ferro Winery.

While much of the winery is a traditional vineyard, Ferro also keeps greenhouses dedicated to each season, where grapes are grown year-round for visitors to learn about and winemakers to experiment with. The greenhouses are designed like intricate gardens, with roses and stone sculptures among the vines. Ferro is famous for its romantic couples' grapevines, an attraction in which visitors to the winery may plant a vine together and later receive wine brewed from the grapes of their vine.

Culture

Cuisine

Barosk is especially proud of both its wine and its cheese. The nation's winemaking tradition dates back over a thousand years, and its cheese is made through a traditional process of hand steaming, concentration, and fermentation. Residents are slow to change their attitudes toward their traditional methods for these products, although their wine industry has successfully modernized.

Additionally, potica is said to be a traditional dessert in Barosk.

Religion and Mysticism

Believing the sunlight of spring to be the reason for the quality of the nation's grapes, Barosk's residents celebrate the "Spring of Grapes" on a special spring day to pray for a good harvest the following autumn.

"I've tried everything, but they still won't accept my cheese."

Gender: Female
Occupation: Cheese Maker
Bio: Jennie is a cheese maker who lives near Fia Estate. Her uniquely sweet and gooey cheeses are made with a method that isn't traditional in Barosk. Because of this, locals are dismissive of her product despite most never having tried them. The hostility has gone so far in the past that dairy farms have refused to sell to her, disgusted by what she intends to use it for. She was recently introduced to Ivan Affini, agreeing to share her recipes with him in exchange for help with PR and distribution.
