Governor
Type Villager

The Governor is the head of the region that Pelican Town belongs to, and he visits the valley once a year for the Luau on the Beach. His one big moment is tasting the community's potluck soup, and his verdict raises or lowers the farmer's friendship with the whole town at once. That makes the Governor one of the most important guests of the Summer festival, even though he spends only a single day in town. He is a cheerful, well-fed man who loves the valley's charm and its food. He can also turn up in the lobby of the Movie Theater.


Lore


The Governor adores Stardew Valley and looks forward to his visit all year. He says there is a real charm in the air, and he talks about asking "the missus" whether they should buy a vacation home there. At the Movie Theater he praises the economic growth of the valley and jokes about bringing his wife out for soup and a movie. The Lobster Bisque episode of The Queen of Sauce also mentions him.

Schedule


The Governor comes to town only for the Luau, held on the Beach in Summer. Mayor Lewis hosts him, and the soup tasting is the high point of the day. Outside the festival he may appear in the Movie Theater lobby once the theatre has opened.

Relationships


Mayor Lewis treats the Governor as a guest of honour and is anxious for the Luau to impress him. When Lewis invites him to taste the soup, the Governor happily replies that he has been looking forward to it all year.

Notes


At the Luau, every villager adds an ingredient to the potluck pot, and the farmer may add one too. The Governor then tastes the soup and gives one of several verdicts, from the best soup he has ever tasted down to calling it vile and needing to lie down. The best result raises friendship with every villager, and a bad one lowers it for everyone.

His reaction depends on the farmer's ingredient: its quality, its base sell price and whether it is good to eat. Profession bonuses to price do not count. Gold or Iridium quality produce, such as a high-quality Melon or Cauliflower, is a reliable way to win his top praise. Junk or inedible items earn the worst reactions.

Slipping Mayor Lewis's Lucky Purple Shorts into the pot triggers a special scene. The Governor first finds the flavour intriguing, then realises what has been added and reacts in disgust, while Lewis is left humiliated.
