Kingdom of War:

It has been suggested that the KoW is both repelling and tempting. As I see it there are only two reasons to be tempted to join the KoW army:

A psychopathic nature, they do just what you like
Fear, better kill than die

Coffee:

You are deluded by northern propaganda here. The primal coffee you mention is in fact espresso. Why? Because espresso is the darkest, strongest and most bitter coffee of course. Cappuccino and cafe' au lait are not abominations, but since they are diluted they don't hold the potent force of primal coffee. The Vadeli, being vile and nasty, probably drink nescafe'.

Over to the Other Drink. My latest theory is that tea was invented by Gbaji as a means to seduce people to the dark side of illumination. 'Once you join me in glory and chaos you won't have to drink that abominable herbal infusion any more.'
