Spirits: This category includes any hard liquor, from pure grain alcohol to rotgut whiskey. Wine: Wine includes any beverage made from fermented grapes. The wines from the Tilean City States and Estalian Kingdoms lean towards red vintages, while wine from the Empire favours lighter and sweeter grapes. Common people use wine to cleanse their water, as wine is too valuable to be consumed by itself. If they do drink it, they likely add water to it. g eneral e quIpmenT General equipment includes the types of gear every adventurer needs to survive in the dangerous lands of the Old World. For easy organization, this group is subdivided into Carrying Equipment, Lighting, Miscellanea, and Tools. As with any other equipment, quality of these items depends on craftsmanship. A backpack of the best craftsmanship may be oiled leather and waterproof while a poor backpack may be nothing more than a dirty pillowcase with holes cut for arms. Descriptions for items follow. C arryIng e quIpmenT Backpack: A backpack is a simple bag with straps that fit over your arms distributing the weight onto your shoulders. Backpacks can hold 250 units of encumbrance. Better backpacks are oiled leather and waterproof, while shoddier packs are cloth, and likely to split. Backpacks have a flap that closes over its mouth with a cinch to keep it closed. Case, map or scroll: A case is a leather roll designed to hold a map or a scroll. It usually comes with wooden or metal caps that fit on either end to protect the contents. A typical case can comfortably fit 3 scrolls or maps. Chest: This is a lidded wooden box. Better chests are reinforced with iron bands and locks, while shoddy chests sometimes even lack a lid. An average chest can hold 300 units of encumbrance. Flask, leather or metal: Flasks are small containers used to hold water, beer, oil, or some other liquid. They commonly come in leather, or the sturdier metal varieties, though ceramic flasks (the same price as leather) are available in some lands. A flask holds about a pint of liquid. Jug: This simple clay or ceramic container has a small handle and a spout at the top. A jug holds 1 gallon of liquid, increasing its encumbrance to 105 units. Pouch: This small bag comes with ties to hang it from your belt, backpack, or strap. These are cloth, but better pouches may be silk, fur, or cured leather. A pouch holds 400 coins or 2 units of encumbrance. Purse: A purse is a special kind of pouch designed to hold money. Smaller and concealable, it is preferred as it is less visible than a pouch and thereby safer. A purse can hold 100 coins. Sack: A sack is a general-purpose cloth or linen bag. It holds 200 units of encumbrance. Saddlebag: A saddlebag ties onto a saddle, and is nearly always made of durable leather. It can carry 250 points of encumberance. Inside, there are smaller pouches and divisions to keep items separate. Slingbag: A slingbag is a pouch with a shoulder strap. Though smaller than a backpack, a slingbag is easier to manage, and a lot less bulky. Slingbags hold 200 units of encumbrance. Water Skin: A water skin is a large animal bladder fitted with a
