lyrics

"When I opened the scroll, I was met with the last hint of the Mead Dew aroma. Written on the parchment was the last known recipe for the gnomish brew. Though it was missing some key ingredients and some things were smudged out, there was much to work with. I felt in myself what I feel to this day--a sense of duty to provide the best ale possible--the closest thing to the nectar of the old world and its magical beings--the lost healing potion of forgotten times.

With this task instilled upon me, I made my return journey to the Moorlehem Monastery. When I arrived, I wasn't well received except for by Brother Vanhoutte. I explained for hours my journey and recent enlightenment, expecting nothing but mockery and reprimand in return. Instead, I was met with the glowing look of someone who truly also wanted to create something that had been lost in their own world.

I soonafter had repented and made peace with the rest of my peers, and after many months of lower duties, I was returned to my station in the cistern where I began to craft my very first signature brew. Five weeks to the day of my return to the cistern, I had completed every step I could interpret from Pellegrin's manuscript. I dipped my ladle into the frothing mixture and took a sip. It was as pure as anything I had tasted from the hands of man--bright in color with hues of amber silk that was followed by bubbles as numerous as the stars in the heavens--a near perfect mixture. I bottled it and let it sit for a few more weeks until the time was just right.

On a quiet evening, I gathered everyone into the hall and released the cork. Brother Vanhoutte and the others were without words. After a while, they asked what I called it. It's name is Gurmir Ged...and that means "Kinship." We all began to dance." - Gertjan Windels, 1650
