Lyngsath Hyllbornsyn is a non-playable character in Final Fantasy XIV. He is the guildmaster of Culinarians' Guild and head chef of the Bismarck in Limsa Lominsa.
History[]
Early life[]
Lyngsath learned his trade aboard a merchant vessel that ventured far and wide across the five seas. He is well versed in foreign techniques and ingredients, and behind his every dish are his forty-two summers' worth of experience in the kitchens. Unbound by conventional thinking and recipes, he is famous for borrowing from multiple traditions to create new culinary wonders.[1]

Due to a suggestion by Baderon, the adventurer sold a puffer fish to Culinarians' Guild. During the conversation with Lyngsath, Y'shtola Rhul appeared and asked about the giant snake that was spotted. Lyngsath explained that the snake often appeared in the historical records of Limsa Lominsa, saying that it keeps an immeasurable treasure.[2]
Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn[]
Once the Warrior of Light joined the Culinarians' Guild, Lyngsath encouraged them to continue practicing and asked the Warrior to cook for their guildmates. When Lolorito, one of Ul'dah's most powerful men, announced his intention to dine at Bismarck, Lyngsath injured his hand and ordered the Warrior of Light to represent Bismarck in his place. Lyngsath thanked the Warrior for protecting the guild's future and proceeded to compare it to his faithful left hand.[3]
News of the Warrior of Light's talents reached the sultana of Ul'dah, Nanamo Ul Namo, who requested the Warrior of Light as the chef on her visit to Limsa Lominsa. The Warrior researched and prepared the sultana's favorite dishes. Lyngsath applauded their success and went so far as to say that they surpassed it in fame. He asked the Warrior of Light to apply their skills for the benefit of the kingdom and promised to strive to do the same.[4]
Final Fantasy XIV: Heavensward[]
Melkoko Melko, an acquaintance from Lyngsath, demanded the services of a consummate culinarian, and the guildmaster believed that the Warrior of Light was the perfect person for the job. The job was to defeat H'mhasi Tia during the Dellemont d'Or, the most prestigious of all culinary contests.[5] The Bismarck ended up being chosen as the competition venue and Lyngsath served master Dellemont when he made his visit to the location. In an discussion, Melkoko bet Bismarck's ownership to H'mhasi Tia if he won the contest, but he ended up losing to the Warrior of Light.[6]
Final Fantasy XIV: Stormblood[]
The Warrior of Light and Raulf asked Lyngsath for advice on preparing udon. Lyngsath recommended the use of authentic dried fish from the Far East to make udon broth. Luckily, a Kraken's Arms ship recently apprehended a merchant in the seas of the Far East, and Lyngsath said there was a chance of the ingredients that the pair sought to be among the cargo.[7]
