Wizards of the Toast

From the introduction:

Two decades ago, toast took the world by storm. A clandestine group known only as ‘Wizards of the Toast’ (WotT) had perfected the art of heating and drying bread at the ideal rate to elicit prime golden crispiness. In a fit of mercantile prowess, their leader, Sir Rye’on d’Ancey shared their secrets with bakers everywhere, enshrining their copyrighted techniques in the Open Baking License 1.0(a) (OBL 1.0a). This license conferred a perpetual, worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive license allowing any baker, forevermore, to toast all manner of breads, and assured that WotT’s cookbook, the Toaster’s Handbook, would never stray from the bestseller shelf.
