Editing Drug (section)

= Drugs Warhammer Fantasy = 

*'''[[Warpstone]]''': crystallized magic of chaos. It is some kind of uranium like greenish glowing rock. When consumed, it replenish the user's magic power and replenish their vigor, with its side effect being [[Tzeentch|mutation]] and the usual drug addiction. Unless you are a Skaven, undead, Demon, Vampire, [[Volkmar the Grim]], chaos worshipper or experienced wizard, you do not want to eat or touch that shit since it can KILL YOU. Other than consumption however, they have other uses, especially in Skaven culture where they are used as some kind of machine power source, currency and magic artifact.
*'''Juesh Root''': Originating in Nehekhara, it is some kind of plant's root and its similar to the real life Areca Nut in many ways, from its consumption method through chewing for its juice and the bad dental hygiene from using it, except Jeush completely darkens the user's teeth to the point they resemble black shards. [[Arkhan the Black]] was well known for chewing the damned stuff like a fiend before he joined Nagash and the drug's effect remained even when Arkhan was reanimated as a Lich. It is unknown if the drug survived at the hands of Araby settlers since Nagash's plague spell pretty much wiped out any arable land in Nehekhara.
*'''Black Lotus''': Lotus, but black. Found in the Southland. It is often used as an anesthetic on Slaves to sap their willpower and prevent them revolting. It is also has its recreational uses, where it can be made into wine. Neferata in life drank a lot of the shit and woke herself up from its effects by injecting herself with a hornet's poison, since its venom cancelled out the Lotus's toxin. Its usage is also popular among other assassins in the old world, chiefly by Skaven [[Clan Eshin]] assassins as well as [[Naggaroth]]'s Khainite assassins.
*'''Nagash's Elixir''': Nagash created this elixir based on a Nehekharan pre-battle ritual, where the priests drain the blood of innocents and then have their blood consumed by the kings and their lieutenants. In his version however, he imbues his terrifying dark magic onto the innocents (which torments the said person) before draining their blood, like marinating meat before cooking it ([[slaanesh|or boiling a lobster, Halal, Ikizukuri, those sadistic cooking method, etc...]]). The elixir greatly improves the user's vigor, life span and youthfulness and allows the user to even regenerate from certain mortal wounds. The downside is that when its effect recede, the user will experience limping limbs from pain and tiredness. It's also addictive as hell, as it leaves the user with a hunger that couldn't be quenched by any food or drink aside from more elixir. While thirsting for more elixir, the user would be unable to emit anything but coldness from their body and their eyes would sink in as if they lack sleep, as well as be unable to walk under the sun because it burns them. [[grimdark|It is said blood is best coming from younger person, especially young women or children. Because of course]].
**'''[[Neferata]]'s Version ([[Vampire|Vampirism]])''': [[Neferata]] unknowingly discovered this version after her brother's Vizier tried to assassinate her with Sphinx venom. First the user must have developed a strong reliance on the elixir. Then they had to drink the Sphinx venom, which puts the user in a comatose state. Then a ritual must performed on the user in order to transform the user into something beyond death: a Vampire. After the user becomes a vampire, they will, you know, do vampire thing: always thirst for more blood unless they [[Abhorash|drink dragon blood]]. So in other words, blood is count as a type of drug for the vampire, except it could be blood from other species like the Dwarfs or Elves.
*'''Nokra-Leaf''': Some sort of leaf used as medicine in Athel Loren according to our favorite elf [[vermintide 2|Kerillian: "I'd rather some nokra-leaf, but this will do"]]. Judging by the lack of information according to our beloved machine spirits Google and Warhammer wiki, it might be one of the few fluff items ever created and referenced in a Warhammer game.
*'''All kinds of Mushroom''': Mostly consumed by the deranged Night Goblins (and their successors in the Mortal Realms, the [[Gloomspite Gitz]]). Their uses range from warfare and recreation to medical treatments. (keep in mind the Greenskins are fungal humanoids themselves).
**'''Magic Mushrooms''': Glows in the dark mushroom. Consume by Night Goblin Shamans to increase their magic power.
**'''Mad Cap Mushrooms''': Night Goblin Fanatics consume these bad boys to induce a state of frenzy before every battle.
*'''All kinds of Alcohols''': It seems like alcohol is an essential part to every great setting's world building. 
**'''Dwarven Ale''': The best kind of ale are brewed by the Dwarfs of course. Consuming this makes the drinker full for weeks without the needs to eat or drink anything to survive. Each Dwarf Hold has their own unique flavor which they took great pride in brewing them. Dwarfs are so prideful in their brew that they are willing to start a war against even other Dwarfs for insulting their brew, such as saying that their brew tastes like mannish brews (aka Human booze). The Ale is also potent enough to be used as a fuel source for the Dwarf's machinery, which is like real life [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethanol_fuel Ethanol fuel].
***'''Bugman's XXXXX''': The greatest Dwarven Ale of all as well as being the most refreshing alcoholic beverage ever created. Consuming it makes the drinker immune to fear for up to ten hours. However, Bugman’s Ale is extremely potent, being about as filling as four lesser ales. Despite the destruction of the brewery, its creator, [[Josef Bugman]], survives and so long as he lives, his famous ale can still be seen within many famous taverns throughout the world-- including a certain tavern in Nottingham.
**'''Fungus Beer''': Created and Consumed by the Night Goblins to not only make them insane, but also enhance their senses and flex in battle.
**'''Kvas''': A popular beverage in Kislev. You might think it is in fact fantasy's equivalent of Vodka, but is actually a reference to the real world Kvass, which it is also made with Rye. Unlike Kvass however, its fantasy counterpart has the ability to cure many disease like scurvy (during times of famine), colds, dropsy, fever, and many others. The beverage is so popular in Kislev that it is favor among all social hierarchy, including its rich nobles. The said notabilities unironically favors their piss water more than those '''weak''' southern beverages made by those pansies in the South.
**'''Rotgut''': A brew that grants unpredictable results to any that consumes them. Most often 50% of those that consume rotgut get the bad result of being permanently blind. The other 50% however gets to have the best time of their lives. The brew's distillation process is tricky as well as hard to replicate. Other side effects (alongside the aforementioned blindness) from the brew include comas and death. Despite that, it greatly improves the chances getting stinking drunk. Pretty good results.
**'''Wine''': Consumed by pretty much every race but the Dwarfs (A proper Dawi preferred a good ale! Dwarfs would still drink them, just not as much, or when there's no ales or beers around), mostly favored by Bretonnian and the Elves.
***'''Bretonnian Wine''': Unironically, The Warhammer French makes the best human wine in order to fit with their stereotype. Their comes from two source: Bordeleaux and Carcassonne. Bordeleaux is the largest export in wine, for its farm and vineyard can be seen anywhere in its land. Ironically, everyone (including '''''PEASANTS'''''. You heard that right!) lives in Bordeleaux can get a taste of it by paying just 1/3 of its price. Although Bordeleaux has the most wine, it is not the best, for that privilege goes to...
****'''Carcassonne Special Reserve''': The best damned Bretonnian wine and probably the best damn wine produced by Humans. It is sooooo good it cost 100 gold crowns. Despite its awesome reputation, some [[skub|"experts"]] still disagree with it being the best. It's still very good though.
***'''Elven Wine''': The snobby pointy ears just called, and they laugh at those mon-keighs' attempt on wine making. Being a long lived race who strives for perfection with high class in attitude, dress, buildings and many other area, this seems fitting. Knowing the Elves, some might have magical enchantment in order to further improve its tasting or giving users hallucinations other than making them drunk or high.
****'''Dreamwine''': Introduced in ''Defenders of Ulthuan'' novel. It is a High Elf wine that shows the user hallucinations of beautiful images like sunset, beautiful exotic animals, beautiful gardens and other gay stuffs. Definitely magically enchanted. Also tastes ''unbearably sweet'' and smokey.
****'''Blood Wine''': Introduced in ''Defenders of Ulthuan'' novel. It is a Dark Elf wine that smells like blood, made from native Naggaroth  grapes that smells like blood, yuck! Probably suited for Dark Elves who loves the taste for blood, which is probably most of its population. 
*'''Potions''': [https://warhammerfantasy.fandom.com/wiki/Potions Fucktons of them.] This is a fantasy setting so having potions brewed by Wizards and Witches should be a common sight.
**'''Strength Potion''': Notable because it was featured in Vermintide and the [[Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay]] game. Said to be made form the powdered arm-bone of a Giant and the simmering blood of a Bog spider. In Vermintide, it allows the user to bypass armor with a non-armor piercing weapon's regular attack with additional melee damage. In WFRP, it increase the S stats by 2 points.
*'''[[Cannibalism]]''': Just like in real life, eating human flesh yields a forbidden addiction considered way too immoral even for fiction settings. To some twisted genius [[Drachenfels|evil]] [[Nagash|assholes]], they believe human flesh or blood contains the secret to immortality or the ingredient to rejuvenating one's youth. They were right unfortunately and made numerous evil experiments on innocents to achieve that immortality (see Nagash's elixir above). Unlike vampires who needs to drink blood for the sake of replenishment, many human nobility like [[Sigvald]] practice it not for the sake of youthfulness, but delicacy, or perhaps they've unknowing discovered the youthfulness in its flavor and were addicted to it also? Some primitive tribal society eat human flesh for the sake of achieving power (or so Nagash had fed his bullshit to because he hates them and they are too dumb to believe it) and had achieved [[ghoul|ghoulification]] after suffered its addiction. In short, eating human flesh is something only monsters do (aka [[Ogre Kingdoms|Ogres]], [[Skaven]], most of the monster beasts from the disorder side, dinosaurs from Lustria), humans who eat human flesh or blood lose their humanity and are now addicted to its taste. Worst drug ever.
*'''Aetherquartz''': Technically not a drug and from Age of Sigmar.  But the Lumineth use it like Skaven use Warpstone.  It enhances the mental and physical properties of the user but leaves a crippling depression after those effects wear off.  The Lumineth get around this with Cathallars.
