The bitter tears of death

A drink, served only in the temples of the godess of death. Its traditionally served in unadorned, clay cups and provided at the entrance of the temple. It is extremely bitter and almost painful to swallow. Slowly, it spreads intense, icy cold that radiates throughout one's whole body. However, after a few minutes, a sense of content and a feeling of warmth sets in that is by many describe as the warm embrace of the goddess herself. The experience leaves many people changed, no longer looking at the cold embrace of death with fear, but with wonder.
