Welcome to Curious Quill, an original content resource for d20 roleplaying.
This season, we are focusing on the orcs, recent additions to what are considered the ‘civilized’ people of Taluma. We will be detailing their culture and traditions. You will find entries on things like their communities, festivals, attire, and provisions.
Follow the orc tag to read all the entries about them.
Orc Beverages: Yogg
Orcs seldom have had the time and space to brew alcoholic beverages like ale or distill harder alcohol. They do make single vessel beverages that just need yeast like wine or mead with honey easier to gather than finding grapes when on the move. The most common, and most cultural thing they drink is fermented milk which they call yogg.

Elven Beverages: Tea
Elves seem to eat less but drink more than other races, perhaps because they are children of Moon-Queen Luna, the lady of water. They make teas and infusions, warm and cold, which they drink throughout the day. These beverages often have medicinal purposes in addition to hydration.

The Khabba Plant
Khabba is a plant used by the dwarves of Taluma. It is considered a weed by others, but chips of the root are toasted and used to brew a warm beverage that provides energy.

Dwarf Beverages
Though dwarves are known for consumption of ale, there are actually few dwarven brews, instead they purchase barrels from humans and they drink it like water - to them it is a ‘soft’ drink, and even youth drink it seemingly unaffected by its low alcohol content. They make their own spirits from other sources than grain.
