comes in a myriad forms and are available in every corner of Terra. From specially grown cousins of tobacco that relax, calm, and relieve pain, to powders, pills, and liquids that do everything from relieve pain to produce vivid hallucinations, they are a pall upon the average citizens of the world.
Some of the substances are naturally occurring, such as mushrooms, herbs, and some flowers. Others, many powders, pills, and liquids, are created by magic-users or alchemists. Then there are the various alcohols that are far more potent than the average brews: dwarven spirits most notably, as well as fae wine and gnomish mead.
As everyone knows, alcohol is one of the most potent substances, especially where the dwarves, elves, and gnomes are concerned. Dwarven ale is superior to every other brew in its effects on every other race. It often intoxicates or even inebriates in less than a full mug. Fae wine, made by the great elven family of Ithrandia, has a more dreamlike effet on the consumer. It also affords a different kind of clarity, despite the consumer’s drunkeness. Gnomish mead is often flavored with various fruits or berries. It also has a different effect than the other two beverages, in that it often gives the onsumer the impression of flying or floating, on top of the inebriation.
Powders and other altering substances are often added to alcohol or other beverages to increase or amplify the effets. They are also able to be injected or, in the case of powders, can be smoked.
