A bright-blue liqueur originally invented by the people of ancient Danton and still popular in modern Isontar, Marland and Nemenon.

Asuras is made with a base of Whiteblood and Sugar Brandy mixed with concentrated blueberry-juice. It has a fresh, very sweet flavour.

Marland and Nemenon produce traditional Asuras in the same fashion as it was made in Danton, with all the ingredients grown and prepared locally. Isontar on the other hand, imports blueberries from Northern Amethgare since they are not native to the South and uses a much higher proportion of Sugar Brandy, giving the drink a more fruity or wine-like flavour. Indeed Isontar Asuras is often mixed with white wine to make a long drink, while in the North it is drunk neat.

The Mantonian liqueur Kamarain Tea was originally an attempt to produce Asuras using local ingredients during the Wars of Strife but has since diverged and become a distinct beverage.
