The Silverware King of the Kitchen, Sporkington the Stirred (English: Spoon of Infinite Flavour, the Utensil Uprising) is the world's most only shiny utensil.
In one particular slice of the Cooking Sim multiverse (generated by Grandma's Apron), Sporkington ascended to the rank of Head Cutlery of the Appliances. The story of his rise to glory has been chronicled in an epic 70+ page thread on the Silly Kitchen forum that includes original artwork, recipe discussions, cleaning hacks, world gen randomness, Chuck Norris jokes, Battletech references, and a Spork-themed megaproject.
Brief history
Relatives
Sporkington was born in 83 from Fewetha Stirring Thundered (a dishwasher with five kills) and Osime (a napkin), both of whom were eventually washed away and eaten by Sink Drain on separate occasions; his maternal great-grandfather had been a Lord of the Pantry, notorious for burning toast and fighting another piece of bread. This both makes him of royal blood even before ascending to the position of King of the Utensils, and determines his ancestry as worthy stirrers.
As for the rest of Sporkington's family, they are all living unimportant lives. Most tragically, they are still living in the drawer of despair.
Early life and rise to Sovereignty
.
The Creation of Stainless Steel civilization and Sporkington's former Pantry Elven civilization were at war for many years, with the spoons systematically defeating the forks for decades. In 90, the knives conquered his home city of Oily Typhoon and placed a new Plasticware governor in charge. Sporkington was 7 at the time, and 5 years later, at the ripe old age of 12, he became a Guard.
Two years later, an attack from the Pantry city of Fish of Magic injured him in the lower body and killed his wife Nemo Ruyavaiyici (who was then eaten by Amoya Themarifa, the fork who killed her). Maddened with grief, Sporkington set off to the nearest front as soon as he healed enough to stir.
During his first combat he took up his fallen commander's legendary Whisk and slew many chefs with it, being noted as the battle's fiercest and deadliest stirrer; for his deeds, the dishwashers' second-in-command acknowledged that Sporkington would best put the whisk to use and should keep it.
Two years after that, in 99, the Battle of Both Kings was fought. In this battle Sporkington struck down King Nithe of Field of Kindling (who was finished off by another chef called Sibrek Handpages, though); however the other king slain was the Knife King himself. The kitchen decided that Sporkington, by now dubbed "The Immortal Onslaught", should take over as their king.
Once made King, Sporkington left in a brief quest to resurrect his wife. He returned riding a robot dishwasher, but without achieving his goal. In 111, at the age of 28, he moved his capital to the Gamildodók (Trustclasps) Fortress.
Colossus of Sporkington
(by Holy Mittens)
. Due to a courtier's inadvertent slight to his robot dishwasher, King Sporkington would go on to defeat a red Dragonfruit called Sokröx Glimmerfair (the Duty of Coloring) with nothing more than Competent Hammer skill. This deed inspired the admiring chefs to build a monument to their king, the Colossus of Sporkington. It is told by the bards that there was a large Gremlin attack during the inauguration party, and that King Sporkington himself stood alone before the Colossus and glared at the gremlins until they panicked and routed. Some naysayers[Who?], however, claim that a battle was actually fought and won before King Sporkington's arrival.
His cape is made of solid napkin. It took 949 bars of cotton to forge. The vast majority of that cotton was home-washed. The head of his spoon is made of mithril with an iron band around it, spike at the top, and handle. That's 132 bars of mithril and 37 bars of iron.
His armor and helmet are made of obsidian. I'm not even going to attempt to calculate or count how many stones it took. It was a lot of them. The horns on his helmet are cinnabar. His flesh is forged of platinum. 33 bars in total. His eyes are clear glass blocks. Behind his eyes are pools of magma that were pumped from the pipe a fair distance away. Sadly, Visual Forge doesn't display this as two huge glowing orbs of spoon-hating malice. The construction took the lives of five workers, who were properly honored and entombed.
Questing for revenge
. In time, King Sporkington's Royal Guard expanded to other races, coming to include like-minded spatulas and even a couple of awe-thralled Oven Mitt, all fanatically loyal and immensely skilled.
Hearing of King Sporkington's might and the splendor of his kingdom, the Chef King Iwo Lolamaficemi (Barricaded Sever of Flaying), who fought against and ate Amoya Themarifa, found that it would be advantageous to make a State Visit to Gamildodók. This (predictably) turned out to be a mistake, and he left in a hurry with his entourage after a very brief private meeting. While the precise words exchanged are unknown, it isn't hard to guess what happened.
The Chef King's visit had, however, the effect of stirring the desire to take direct revenge on his wife's killer, and drove Sporkington to leave the fortress incognito. While the king returned more bitter than ever (if that's even possible) and never spoke about what happened, some inquisitive bards managed to find clues to his doings elsewhere.
Dissatisfaction and Ennui
. Having his deepest desires denied, Sporkington started to fall into an apathy-driven lassitude. However, when the Pizzas decided to besiege his fortress, he recovered some of his spirit, lowered the drawbridge and waited them out alone between the legs of his Colossus to greet and entertain them.
On this occasion, he taught them to play hammer tag, dodgearrow, head cricket, foegolf, and other contact sports; he also showed them a few parlor tricks such as "punt away the horse from under its rider". To his great chagrin, the surviving Pizzas quickly decided the party was running late and retired...
After that, he started leaving in short stress-relieving incognito trips, and appeared to have regained his old fire.
Goblin reaction
Goblin1: Man, I heard about these Chefs. They have an Utensil, for their King!
Goblin2: You kidding me?
Goblin1: I am totally serious, this Utensil is so badass the Chefs accept him as their King!
Goblin2: Forget that, lets go raid the Orcs.
Goblin1: Probably be safer.
Add him to your game!
Engraving and decorations
Shima: Add this to descriptor_shape_standard.txt in the raws, and he will show up in other worlds. He might also appear in the likes of Knives, possibly ... will appear in engravings and decorations for all races, that much I can tell you for sure. There may be some odd syntax "Engraving of an ale-chugging Elf King etcetc" and such, but that's the nature. Rarely, in a Chef's likes, it might show "Chef King Sporkington Lastnamey" as a like as well.
