Beverages in other sources

There are various beverages mentioned in the Gord the Rogue novels:

  • Pomarj black wine—a bottled, " rare, especially costly" drink (after the humanoid invasion of the Pomarj). This "inky" black wine tastes somewhat foul with a bitter aftertaste, and is also addictive. Though, the addictive "stuff they put in it" is unknown.[47]
