Ale and liquors

In the vastness of Turinthia many different cultures have been born from the diverse environment and conditions. Despite the vast amount of space between the continent one thing remains constant and that is the love of alcohol and spirits.I am Kaher Quen Turinthia's most distinguished and foremost connoisseur of alcohol and spirits.In my adventures I have tasted the finest imperial wine Urugnia has to offer and even shared a glass with the High King Saqa himself. In this book i shall detail all the finest wines and spirits i had the pleasure to encounter.

## Wraithian Spirit

Deep within the Rhoyinga mountains that split the goblin Kingdom and the Western Urugnian empire lies the township of Moskau.Now many of you many never have heard of this town and so did I until i stumbled upon it during my travels was originally attempting to trek inside the goblin kingdoms to find what the Goblins refer to as The Golden Experience. During my trek across the mountains a massive blizzard stranded me from the trail however in the distant i found shelter in Moskau. Reaching the village is a dangerous trek that few survive therefore i warn any of those weak of body to be wary in their journey for the finest spirit.Being in deepest corner of the mountains had greatly isolated the people of Moskau not to mention the constant goblin raids the people experience.However once they realized my short stature was indeed not goblin they allowed me to enter the small township and saving my life.The blizzard had sapped me of my strength and had me bedridden however due to the unfortunate encounter i experienced what they called Wraithian Spirit.

During my rest their healers offered me a peculiar drink.At first i believed it to water as it clear as day and was void of any aroma thus believing it was water i drunk the spirit.What was strange was that the glass was warmed by my hands yet as the spirit my tongue it was as cold ice.At that moment the "water" immediately became suspicious yet when i tasting the distinctive taste of alcohol i continued drinking the remainder.As i savored it the icy spirit begun to reveal more flavours that of citrus and flora.As i finished the drink i had realized that my senses have been sharpened i could hear more and see further than before.More importantly my sense taste sharpened greatly allowing me to taste deep and rich flavors within the spirit.

Curious of the drink i stayed in the village for several weeks performing odd jobs and regaling the women and children of my adventures until the opportunity came to learn more.It wasn't long until their chieftian and i reached an agreement for me to learn of the secrets of the Spirit from its ingredients to its brewing.Sadly under the stipulations of the agreement i cannot divulge the secrets of the spirit but i can say that the Wraithian spirit is a must for are hardy and wish to experience the all Turinthia has to offer.

## The Golden Experience

After spending another month in Moskau i finally fulfilled my end of the Agreement and set off farther north past Rhoyinga and into the the Goblin kingdoms to find what the goblins call the Golden Experience.Goblins speak of the Golden Experience as the most luxurious drink as if touched by Latom himself.In all honesty i did not expect that the goblins to the north could produce something palatable to the more refined tongue.But yet again curiosity had the better of me once again.

There is not much written about the Golden Experience and so i began my search where every good tale begins within a tavern.I came upon the goblin city of Morkesh which lied at the feet of the Rhyongia mountains.While i was barred from entering the city walls i found my self at a establishment called the Seven skewers.It was early in the day and its patrons were scarcely found yet those in need of company are always around.I joined a table and after a few rounds of Rak Beer they confessed their knowledge of the elusive golden experience.While these patrons did not know much they told me that king XXXXX was holding a banquet as a show of his wealth to the rival kings.I tried entering the banquet through conventional means yet it seemed that i did not bring enough coin or swagger to convince the guards to allow me within.

Alas i found another avenue to enter the event. Every goblin has heard of the Silver claws the boogey man of the goblins.They describe themselves as an enlightened as for they have forsaken the pursuit of wealth for the universal happiness.This belief is quite radical i might say for a goblin so radical that a simple accusation will have you battered and stripped of your wealth.Doing someground work eventually got me in contact with the silver claws.

## The Elixir of Life

Every man ,woman and child has heard of the so called elven elixir of life that supposedly extend your life for years.Exaggerations and goblin imitations of the elixirs has woefully destroyed the credibility of any merchant who dare wishes to sell a so called elixir of life unless that man is Milenius Saqa or the emperor himself. When i first began my adventure many years ago i did not believe that one man could truly discover all the hidden spirits and ales within the Turinthia in a life time. The reality of situation is the average 50 years of a man in Urugnia is simply not enough to uncover it all.Yet my reader you may ask why do i endeavor forward in such an impossible task for a single man.The simple truth is that I Kaher Quen have had the pleasure to taste the Elven Elixir of Life.

Many years ago when i was touring the Emeri Confederacy for my book the Commoner's Ales across Turinthia i encountered what the elves called an Asha Cresh or a master Alchemist.
