History
It is not completely known when this drug started to be manufactured and most mortals believe that it has been a problem in Bridt Sche and Nyiltokti for hundreds of years. Historians and scholars discovered that Kwächɐŋ may be one of the oldest drugs in Miyla created by the Nuossa Nualestota Miylian Elders on the foothills of The Waves for religious reasons. The scholars believe that it was used in rituals to Prirruntri the God of Wine and some evidence suggests its use in rituals to Lynir the God of Rebirth.
In the modern settings of Bridt Sche, the drug is not used for worship but instead is used by the general population to get high. It has become a problem in Nyiltokti's slum districts however Kwönnsch Püerngsing can't be bothered to police in the slums as they have better things to do. Some in the slums believe that the reason that Kwönnsch Püerngsing doesn't do anything about this is because a different organization within Pfussäwinn Witts that is called Juhlkschmö is the one that is selling the drug.
Significance
The drug is used by Nemfteio for various cult activities and selling it funds those activities. The sale and use of the drugs are important to Nemfteio as the drug helps fund their organization and is used for various rituals. The drug has become taboo in the slums of Nyiltokti and the people who are trying to lead honest lives want nothing to do with it.
Historians and scholars have noticed that either Kwächɐŋ or a drug similar was used by the Nuossa Nualestota Miylian Elders in various religious rituals. The three gods that were associated with it were Qaydith the Lord of Slaves, his son Prirruntri the God of Wine, and Lynir the God of Rebirth. The religious practices vary from god to god but scholars believe that they are associated with these gods as they share domains with pleasure and death. The drug Kwächɐŋ is known to give the consumer a sense of pleasure that is said to bring them to death's door giving them a safe place to experience death and to wake up reborn.
