Old Dead Dwarves

Old Dead Dwarves (Gaav'tal Daerig) was an alcoholic liquor from the dwarven realm of Kror'ghamn. The actual composition was a closely guarded secret, but was rumored to include ghimmis, an underground fungus used as rat poison, and giant centipede venom, as well as various minerals. It was also rumored to contain the actual spirits of dead dwarves, very doubtful, but no doubt perpetuated by the roar that the clay jug emitted when the seal was broken.
The liquor was known to be toxic to various degrees to non-dwarves. It was said to be instantly fatal to orcs and goblinoids. At any rate the taste was vile by most standards. It had a formidable alcohol content and was readily flammable.
