Sartarite whisky is too obvious a cliche' to pass up.
Indeed. IMG, the invention of whiskey was a major Sartarite heroquest undertaken in reaction to the Lunar introduction of the demon gin. The questers traveled through the heroplane, sneaked around the Lunar paths to the original Lodrili deities of alcohol, narrowly avoided being seduced by the Hogarthian excesses there, and stole the Secret of the Still after surviving in the obligatory drinking contest with the Keeper of the Pot-Fire.
This was all discovered at Castle Stahleck by Joerg and I after polishing off a very nice single malt. I hope to repeat the quest at Convulsion 3D. (Can anyone recommend good places to go whiskey shopping in London? There is a 1971 Clynelish I'd really like to find.)
I will leave it to Peter Metcalfe to make the Elmal and Gustbran connections. Hmm, there must also be some Elf or Earth influence in order to account for the copper tanks.
