'''Jenwer''' is an alcoholic spirit which originates in, and is one of the most distinctive exports of, [[Hendalarsk]]. Chiefly produced by monasteries before the modern epoch because of its reputed medicinal properties - hence its Latin name, ''aqua vitae'' - the drink's commercial fortunes blossomed from the fifteenth century onwards as a consequence of the newfound prosperity of many urban Hendalarskaren. The country's political unification in the time of Archking [[Maximilian II of Hendalarsk|Maximilian II]] further aided the drink's rise, giving it greater scope to expand beyond its heartland in the [[Werdach]] valley. | '''Jenwer''' is an alcoholic spirit which originates in, and is one of the most distinctive exports of, [[Hendalarsk]].
