Mechanics & Inner Workings

Between the fairly weak alcohol content of the drink that has been marketed as a "sleep-aide" and the various herbs that have long been thought to aid in sleep, a few swigs of this drink will put someone out fairly easily if they're tired.

History

Because of the limited space that has been allocated for agriculture, grains that were once used for the production of alcohol have instead been used as food. Consumption of alcohol took a sharp dive during The Empyrean Schism, and for sometime after its conclusion it was almost non-existant. When the Elysian Bastions were established and agriculture could once again take place on Vasara, the sole priority of farmers was providing food to the survivors. As such, for a few hundred years, alcohol simply was not produced on a large scale by those that lived in the Orbits.

This changed with the advent of indoor Greenhouses, allowing grains such as barley and rye to be grown once again for the purpose of distilling alcohol - either beer or spirits. Due to the newfound challenges of production on a more limited scale, alcohol has returned to Vasara as more of a luxury item instead of a mainstay staple that it had once been. Spirits especially, such as Dreambarrel, are heavily taxed by the various governments of the emergent nations that make the Bastions their capitals.
