Trost

A trost is a type of ale brewed in Trostenwald. Trosts are popular in the Dwendalian Empire and shipped across the continent as a flagship export of the town.

Description
Trosts are notable for being sweeter than typical ales.

History
When Trostenwald was founed around 635 PD, farmers discovered that the fertile farmland produced a unique grain and wheat, which lead to a boom of breweries. The unique flavor is variously attributed to the watears of the nearby Ustaloch or an enchantment on the soil dating back to the Age of Arcanum.

By 835 PD, the three largest maufacturers of trosts are the Baumbauch, Husseldorf, and von Brandt families. Around this time, the three families are attempting to stop the use of the name "trost" as a general term for their ale in favor of using the specific family brand.
