Ageusia Village

Ageusia Village is one of the remaining few human settlements which exist in the Famine Age.

Overview
Located in the heart of the human world in the wreckage of what was once a megalopolis with millions of people it is now the scenic sight of a small village of survivors of the Gourmet War and the Final Beast's attack. While most of the powerful gourmet cell wielding survivors of humanity had to flee to the gourmet world a few of them found safety in this area since it was and would be devoid of powerful beasts for probably thousands of years. The reason for this security is the result a bio-weapon launched at this city hundreds of years ago, detonated with the intent destroying the morale of the country.

All of the water within 100 kms of the center of the city is contaminated with blandium, a special strand of bacteria which secretes an enzyme that leaves food absolutely tasteless and bland. No animal of a gourmet planet would bother themselves to hunt in a non delicious place so civilization has managed to flourish in this piece of land but at the cost of being unable to taste anything unless someone finds a way to cook the water and remove the blandium.

Culture
Ageusia Village despite being called a village is actually a collection of villages distributed across the wreckage of the once great metropolis, nonetheless the actual number of inhabitants of the old city is much smaller than what it had once been so most of the jobs of the inhabitants of Ageusia village is scavenging for food and clothes rather than farming or hunting. There are a few daring individuals who dare to go to the outskirts of the abandoned city to hunt wild animals for fun and sport or as a way to pass time but until very recently there was no need for farming or hunting. As a result of all of these facts the people of Ageusia village often dress in very odd ways since they dress what they can scavenge from abandoned stores.

The Curse of the Village
The blessing of protection from blandium is not without its other, less obvious downsides, for prolonged exposure to blandium over the course of years leads to a type of poisoning which will, without fail, kill its hosts when they reach the ripe age of 35. This is an immutable fact for inhabitants of the village who are well aware of this "curse". While the special preparation of blandium infested water is capable of destroying the taste-suppressing enzymes and the poison it cannot however remove the poison already permeating the body.
