What's Your Poison?

By Xanxa Symanah

A selection of fine alcoholic beverages which are popular in the Fenian Galaxy:

GRASIERI — Fine, delicate Carpathian liquor, very expensive, usually only drunk by the very wealthy.

WHISKEY — Self-explanatory.

OLD CLOUDY — Basic ale, reasonably strong, favoured by Virians and some Varahs, sold widely in many taverns and bars throughout the universe.

SAMAARQ — Cheap liquor, often mixed with industrial cleaners, lamp oil and tar, favoured by students and poor people wishing to get drunk very quickly.

RENJAN — Viscous black liquor, extremely strong, favoured by the Varagans.

VERAZHYNDE — Bright green liquor, known to cause hallucinations, notoriously difficult to make, favoured by the Sartorians and Varagans.
 
FUURKZA — Strong dark liquor favoured by sailors, pirates and prison guards.
 
 

Other intoxicating substances:

GANJHA, VENDARA and KHAYRU — Smoking herbs which induce a euphoric high, widely used throughout the Fenian Galaxy.

OPIUM and OBLIVIUM — Mood-enhancing drug available in both distillate and granulate forms of varying quality, widely used throughout the Fenian Galaxy.

TRIATINATE — Strong hallucinogenic, usually in the form of granules and often mixed with sand.  Its legitimate use is for certain rituals, but it is also widely used as a recreational drug.

PRYKOP — Bitter tasting leaves with a mild hallucinogenic effect.  Mostly used on Malvania for certain rituals.

HARIKI — Stimulating drug with a mild hallucinogenic effect.  Usually available in the form of crystals.
