Twin Flames Wine

This wine, served almost exclusively on special occasions, is among the single finest beverages produced by the Galat system. Made from a blend of fermented dofa berries and Galatian star fruit, then aged in caskets lined with Aether moss, this mildly hallucinogenic beverage is the stuff of legend. A single bottle is given once or twice in a century as a gift to a new couple and after the Fell Wars to the mourning parent, widow, or widower. This beverage, even after millennia, retains its exquisite, fruity, and spicy taste, but is rarely consumed for many reasons, not the least of which is its temporary effects.

Twin Flames is renowned for its ability to blur the line between the material plane and nearby planes of existence through a complex process that, in layman’s terms, faintly decouples the soul from the corporeal body, allowing for otherwise impossible forms of perception. The wine, when unopened, is cerulean in color, sometimes with faint greenish and yellow reflective flecks floating within it. Upon exposure to the air, the liquid will react energetically and begin to swirl with luminous streams of emerald light as the wine’s ingredients mix, releasing a faint scent reminiscent of star anise. Effects range from gentle halos around nearby living beings to more pronounced ability to see spiritual essence, the connective threads between living forms, and even items on parallel planes of existence. These experiences are brief and leave no lasting impact, except by virtue of the memories they create. They usually serve the function of accentuating the connections between mates or providing comfort and closure to mourners, as they often report being able to move on more easily after the experience.
