Glass Milk

Glass Milk is a rare and expensive drink highly valued among desert dwellers for its powerful effects. Despite its smooth and deceptively delicate appearance, it is not a drink for the faint of heart—or for those short on coin. Said to enhance charisma and boldness, it is a favorite among traders, diplomats, and those willing to gamble with their sanity. However, the unwritten rule of Glass Milk is simple: never attempt to barter for it—lest you risk madness.
Glass Milk is thick and almost luminous, with a texture akin to molten pearl. The taste is both sweet and strangely metallic, with a cooling sensation that lingers in the throat. Its richness leaves a faint tingle on the tongue, hinting at the potent effects to follow.
Originating in the desert kingdom of Dhuma, Glass Milk was first brewed by nomadic alchemists experimenting with rare minerals and hallucinogenic flora. Over time, it became a prized commodity, associated with high-stakes negotiations and risky deals. The name comes from its unique, opalescent appearance, resembling liquid glass in the right light.
