Merryhold Red

They say nothing is tougher than the blood of a Merryholder. The Halflings have viciously defended their precious town against all the Forsaken Expanse has to offer for hundreds of years. Merryholder's blood has wet the soil countless times, so much so that they say it has soaked into the meagre produce the resilient smallfolk manage to entice from the dark ground. Food there is functional, efficient in providing its stalwart protectors with enough energy to hold the walls. But occasionally bits and pieces are snuck away for less efficient and more enjoyable uses. One such pleasant outcome is Merryhold Red, a liquor of legendary potency made from the fermented mash of grains from the blood-soaked soil. The Halfling culture of daring their fellows to ever greater heights inevitably led to a more and more powerful concoction being put to good use. Through processes known only to a select few Merryholders, the liquor is pushed to its absolute limit, ready to floor any boastful braggart should it be treated without caution. Once a bottle is finally filled it will be taken to the wounded, a resource in plentiful supply in the besieged town, and a volunteer will provide a few drops of their own crimson to colour the liquor its famous hue.
Nothing is tougher than the blood of a Merryholder, and a slug of Merryhold Red will always give you a fight to remember on the way down as well as likely to leave you feeling battered and bruised come the morning.
