So i’ve been on a bit of a kick lately. And well. I have decided to make some more drinks from my personal universe. Because of a mood i have had recently called the “Cheeki Breeki” where i have wanted to consume massive . . . stupidly copious amounts of alcohol, i present to you the absolute final word on what the Dracicannan people view as PURE alcohol. If you have not seen the earlier creation i have made, check [ Here ] for my recipe for making the Dracicannai Gor’Kitan Cider. As a warning, this drink contains STUPID amounts of Alcohol. Do not drink it all in one go. Do not drink more than one. Moderation is absolutely advised. And now let’s get to a description of it, and the recipe ^ ^

“Kreto’Noto Shine: If there was ever to be a drink that could get as close to the “Pan-Galactic Gargle Blaster” in the history of any race across the galaxies, this is absolutely it. Kret’Noto Shine, sometimes known as Kreto’Noto Glimmer or just simply Kreto’Noto, is a very strong alcohol. The distillation process begins with the gathering of native Dracicannai herbs and mushrooms into a blend known as Korcha. Instead of drying the mixture it is instead mashed into a pulp and stuck in a carved stone bowl, in a cave, in the mountains next to open sources of Elem-Stone or E-365. The bowl is first placed in the middle of a ring of Elem-Stones and under a slow trickling stream of water. After several months, the bowl is removed and the contents are then put through a distillation process similar to Rum or Whiskey.

While Korcha tastes similar to Matcha or Green Tea from earth, Kreto’Noto tastes nowhere similar to it. It instead has a slightly sweet taste to it but also with a hint of what seems to be licorice to the concoction. However it is the strong alcohol content to the drink that gives it the name of “The Green Bonfire”. It is comparable to Moonshine but far more pleasurable and alluring than the Human made rotgut. This drink is very rare and is often viewed as a precious commodity to several races. A single bottle of this substance could even buy your way into at least one, if not several royal parties on distant planets. As such it has become a popular and highly sought after export. And like many highly alcoholic exports it is considered heavily illegal in certain regions of space. If you ever get your hands on this substance it is advised to drink it slowly and with caution.

This drink could likely set your soul ablaze.”

-How to make your own Kreto’Noto Shine-

Ingredients:

A bottle or can of Normal Mountain Dew

Some Absinthe

Some clear Moonshine

Some Aged Rum (Must not be Black Rum)

Some Melon Liquor

Directions:

Use a glass about the size i have shown above in the picture. It is not recommended that you use a bigger glass. Trust me on this. Your glass should be close to half the size of a normal drinking glass. Do not attempt with anything larger.

Fill the glass half full with crushed ice.

Add in about half a shot full of Moonshine into the glass.

Add in almost 75% or half a shot and a quarter of Absinthe into the glass

Add an almost full shot of Aged Rum into the glass

Add a full shot and a quarter of a shot of Melon Liquor into the glass. The rum and Melon Liquor will dampen the blow from the rest of the ingredients, and bring out the flavor/color of the drink.

Add in Mountain Dew to the rest of the glass, or until practically full. Try not to add too much. You can use the rest later to add to the drink (highly recommended)

Stir your glass with the back end of a spoon and enjoy once mixed!

This is probably the most alcohol you may ever consume in your lifetime. However i am also highly excited at how well this drink came out! I was halfway afraid that none of this would mix well and that there would be “waves” to everything when making this drink. To my absolute shock and joy everything blended together smoothly. There will be a “kick” to it on the first go. However it will be a smooth kick, not at all like Moonshine or Absinthe. It will be a very pleasant and surprising motion that will make you have a small jig in delight of how well it came together. Sometimes it’s stuff like this that make me the most happy with how well it all comes together. If you’re not fond of anything remotely tasting like Licorice, give this a hard pass. There is that taste to the drink, and that mostly comes from the Absinthe. However everything else levels the flavor out and it is a surprisingly good mixture. Do note that you should not drink more than one. After having the one drink i was completely intoxicated. And that was pretty much after half the drink was done. So drink with moderation and caution!

Places of Dracicanna: The Continent of Jurdas

Dracicanna: Biology 

            Dracicanna is home to a large burgeoning population of animals and humanoid creatures. Some look exactly like animals from Earth but others are completely different and stranger. However all the living creatures on Dracicanna share one common tie to one another; they did not evolve naturally. Ever living creature, plant, and even humanoid on Dracicanna were created by a hyper-advanced alien race known as the Senex. This race made the life on Dracicanna both fit the look of old creatures from fairy tales and myths, but also gave their inner workings some function. They took all the concerns into hand of having certain creatures live on Dracicanna and worked ways around these concerns.

            The first issue they tackled was of course a primary concern, the skeletal structure of all the creatures. Heavy Gravity would not only crush normal bones that were used to life on an earth-like world, but practically incinerate them into dust. As such they took the normal bone structure and modified key components. The first problem was the overall density of the bones themselves. It would be short work to crush normal bones so they modified the calcium in the bone structure with a poly-resin that would grow naturally in the body. This resin would have a yellow sheen to it and is often seen as streaks along freshly picked bones. This resin is both durable and flexible making bones harder to break. The second problem was weight; animals that flew or had some form of flight capability would need to have bones that were lighter. They used the poly-resin originally but of course learned the main problem; the bone marrow itself was more of an issue. As such they replaced the normal marrow with a lighter compound, which was mostly the same as the original marrow but it was inherently lighter, light enough to maintain flight.

            However that was only the starting point, they started to work on the next problem. The original muscular structure of earth-like creatures would not work in an environment like Dracicanna for several reasons. One being that it was too great of a force of gravity to deal with, and everything would feel sluggish. As such they had to increase the amount of muscles in the body of both animals and humanoid creatures, but the initial results were not promising. The animals looked too muscular and the humanoids seemed to look like they were on steroids. As such they took what was there and redefined the muscles, tightening the fibers, layering multiple nervous systems and even using a different protein compound. Soon they had muscles that not only were lighter and leaner but reacted well under the increased gravity.

            What came next was not only controlling the muscles and keeping them operating, but also how to keep the blood flowing and body heated in brutal temperatures. It was decided that the traditional one heart system would simple not do for the increased muscle capacity, simply put under that amount of strain the heart would go into a cardiac arrest from too much motion. As such additional hearts were added into the genetic code, at least two for smaller animals such as birds or cats, three for humanoids, and upwards of six for large animals. However there was the simple problem of synching the hearts, or keeping them all in line. If the hearts were not synchronized they would cause a seizure within the body which causes almost instant death. So the work around was to make one heart the main and the others more or less backups. This does not mean that they can take the job of the main heart however; if the main heart is damaged in any way then the backups can only support the body for so long. But when the main heart is under strain the backups provide more blood into the system, allowing the body to cool slightly faster than normally.

            The blood of course is not typical blood. Rather than trace amounts of copper or other minerals, the blood has trace amounts of a mineral only found on Dracicanna. The Senex called it E-365, while the people who live on Dracicanna have a new name for it, “Elem-Stone”. This mineral comes in a crystalline form and is traditionally found deep in the inner bowls of Dracicanna close to lava. It contains natural raw energy that is used for magic. The reason why this is used in the blood works is that it generates heat when passed through the hearts. Or it can cool the body under the right conditions, allowing animals and people to survive the extreme heat and cold due to Dracicanna’s elliptical around the sun Dranda. It even helps transmit adrenaline produced by the heart more rapidly through the body. It also mitigates the problem of losing any bio-electric signals through the body thanks to this mineral.

            After the solution to those problems another one arose, toxicity. A lot of the plants were deadly even in small doses to normal earth like creatures, and even some of the animals had developed a form of venom or toxic compound in their body. As such they created a more concentrated filtration system for the kidneys and for the liver they added a better lining to allow the body to filter out most compounds. This helped for most of their problems but for the creatures that developed venom it still slowly killed them from the inside. As such they developed special sacks with the same liver lining for these creatures, which helped significantly.

            Another problem that rose up was related to flight, most animals that could fly could not do so very high, and this was due mostly to gravity. In order to alleviate the situation they added a form of bladder into animals that were meant to fly. These bladders made the body naturally produce hydrogen gas from drinking water, allowing the bladder to fill and allow flight. The original tested bladder wound up into more humorous results with birds ending up like rather bloated balloons and demonstrated another problem, this hydrogen was rather flammable. So they created a more refined bladder that could only expand to a certain point and once punctured it does not immediately catch fire, rather the hydrogen is released into the body. This allows flight worthy creatures to fly and not explode after being shot in the bladder. Some creatures with wings were given smaller bladders meant to only carry them so far upwards, allowing them to glide rather than fly.

            The last problem they tackled was the brain, this being due to the unknown number of modifications they needed to make to begin with. When they started they wound up with one problem, the brain was either too small or incapable of handling the modifications to begin with. So of course they had to change the brain itself to have the modifications going. One thing they began on was the number of synapses and connections, and increased the number of synapses and connectors to the brain and nerve clusters in the spine. However even with that the brain had a problem of keeping up so they increased the number of brain lobes from four, to six; this allowed greater room for expansion and more capacity for the brain to run. However the problem that came was the fact that it would be too big for the skull to handle, so they took the brain make up and condensed it into a smaller package. This allowed neurons and neural signals to be transmitted quicker due to having less space to travel across.

Dracicanna: The World

            Dracicanna, a large world about the half the size of Jupiter or close the size of Saturn, it is a world orbiting a star named Dranda in the Andromeda galaxy. Originally Dracicanna was like any other gas giant, barren, lifeless with nothing but a gaseous atmosphere. However a race named the “Senex”, came to the planet and made it habitable. After the creation, Dracicanna was populated by different animals meant to survive both the harsh gravity and large storms. Along with the creation of the newly habitable Dracicanna came the creation of 4 moons in perfect Geo Synchronous orbit. These moons only appear one at a time to the world below and reside in the large green asteroid ring around Dracicanna.

            Dracicanna has a 28 hour day night cycle. This has lead to many animals becoming nocturnal or developing longer hibernation periods or even night vision. And despite the longer periods of the day the temperature stays to a form of normality on certain continents. Thanks to the higher gravity, anyone who lives on Dracicanna has developed stronger bones, and even an increase to the nervous structure and vascular structure. It’s common for the humanoid races to have 3 hearts while animals will often have 2-4 of them. There are five Humanoid races living on the planet. They are the Humans, Kekero, Elvaran, Drogun, and Gorokan races. Each race has unique skills and traits that separate them apart.

            The size of Dracicanna, from one end of the world and going all the way back is 43,000 Kilometers or 26,718 Miles. There are 16 land masses and two poles on Dracicanna, each land mass being above 1,000 Kilometers or 621 Miles. Of these land masses the two largest are Sakras, a vast desert continent, and Dragas which is a mix of cold and warm depending on if you are North or South. Along with these land masses is a small chain of islands called “The Shadow Lands” that is blocked off by a ring of storms called the Shadow Veil. And there is the ruined half sunken Senex city in one of the large open areas of water, a massive construct that is about 9,000 Kilometers or 5,592 Miles long.

            Due not only to the gravity but the competing temperatures, storms on Dracicanna take the form of large mega-storms. Normally these storms are relatively harmless, bringing in lots of rain and snow fall, but hurricanes and tornadoes are deadly enough to clear out several towns and villages at once. These storms are also capable of afflicting more than one continent at any one time, making survival even harder for not only humanoid races but for animals. The humanoid races have either constructed or incorporated forms of shelter either underground or in a mountain or some other form of durable structure in response. Animals often take any shelter they can or can sense the storm before it occurs migrating to a safer area.

            The orbit of Dracicanna around the sun of Dranda is in a slight elliptical pattern making the passage of time longer than it would be on something like earth. A single day is 28 hours, however a week lasts for 8 days. There are 34 to 38 days in a month and 438 days in a singular year. The humanoid races do not divide the months apart but rather put several months into a singular season to judge the passage of time. There are of course four seasons, Chatakori (Fall), Chatakima (Winter), Chatakera (Spring), and lastly Chatakoni (Summer). Due to the elliptical pattern the longest seasons are Chatakori and Chatakera, these are both the seasons where they judge how fair or harsh the winter and summer is.

            Most plants are either poisonous or have some hidden attribute on Dracicanna, even something like a berry can have a potent enough heat in its juice to melt ice on contact. As such alchemy is considered to be high among the list of needs in any town for the humanoid races and animals know which plants to stay away from and which to eat. While herbivorous animals are present on Dracicanna they do not take a large percentage of the food chain. Instead predators or animals with a more omnivorous taste take up most of the main stay of the population for animals. This makes even traveling in Dracicanna a dangerous task with large packs of either predatory or omnivorous animals.
