'But your skin is white as milk, your eyes are clear as dawn, and there is about you a freshness and daintiness alluring as honey.'
„
~ Xuthal of the Dusk
Even at the lowest point in the cycle of savagery and civilization, mankind never fails to value honey. The sweet, viscous food substance miraculously defies contagion and rot. It is used in cooking. The very first fermented beverages came from honey. Medicine men and women know to apply honey to rashes, wounds, and burns - to administer it to ease coughs and sore throats. Honey is even employed in certain Stygian embalming techniques.
