Trivia

• Moonlight mead may be a reference to the legend of werewolves transforming under moonlight. Canifis, the place where moonlight mead is sold, is populated nearly entirely by werewolves.
• Since it does not contain honey, it is not truly mead.
• This drink is usually bought from Roavar in Canifis before venturing into Mort Myre Swamp because Ghasts cannot turn a drink into rotten food.
• During the In Memory of the Myreque miniquest, Veliaf Hurtz refers to moonlight mead as "rotgut" and "swill", suggesting that moonlight mead is cheap, strong, and terrible-tasting alcohol designed mostly to get one drunk, or that moonlight mead is designed to be easily affordable and, due to the extremely low-quality of the ingredients, makes the drinker sick. This likely explains why he considered Radigad, who liked to drink the stuff, to be "just as tough on the inside".
