      "The tough Northlanders of Luskan have endured many long, bitter winters; some winters have even frozen the wide Mirar River solid and trapped the fine ships that are the heart and engine of the City of Sails.",
      "Illuskan mulled cider is sold on many street corners across the city, often simmering for hours in large iron pots over coal braziers, and the five gangs that dominate the city each have their own preferred vendors and recipes. The folks at Ship Kurth enjoy a fragrant cider with plenty of ginger and cardamom, the Ship Baram gang go heavy on the oranges, and the Ship Suljack folk add more maple syrup to their cider than most people can stand. All five Ships agree that Illuskan mulled cider can only be made from the region's own hardy orchard stock. When word spread that the Yawning Portal proprietor, {@creature Durnan|WDH}, was selling \"Illuskan mulled cider\" made with Waterdhavian apples, they sent an envoy to advise him of his mistake. The Kurth recipe is now the standard at the Yawning Portal."

    "In a medium saucepan, combine the apple cider, maple syrup, ginger, cinnamon sticks, cloves, allspice, cardamom, star anise, apple, orange, and half of the hard cider with a wooden spoon. Set the saucepan over medium-high heat and bring the mixture to a bare simmer. Decrease the heat to low and simmer, covered, for at least 1 and up to 3 hours. The flavors will meld together more the longer you cook. Remove from the heat. Set a fine-mesh strainer over a heatproof bowl and strain the apple cider mixture into it. Add the remaining half of the hard cider and stir to combine. Garnish with nutmeg. Serve at once in mugs or teacups."
