Goblins in the world of Godstep were the first to cultivate and use a plant containing caffeine. Being an insectlike species, it actually has an intoxicating effect on them, and is treated culturally similarly to alcohol in our world. Goblins will gather in groups during their down time and sip small cups of spiceroot, as it's known, in order to relax and loosen up. They are slightly puzzled and usually very amused by the fact that some other species will drink it in large quantities in the morning and throughout the day for the opposite effect.
Spiceroot itself has a pleasantly warming and slightly spicy taste similar to cinnamon or ginger, and has become one of the most widely distributed and cultivated plants in the world. Each culture has developed its own twist on the drink and culture around the practice of consuming it. Depicted above are the tools and dishes used to prepare and consume spiceroot in the traditional goblin fashion.
