King Blakrock:

For years, Blackrock was strictly used by its architechts, The Deep Dwarves, who spent decades experimenting and tinkering with the recipe, even adding components of alchemy and magic to refine the drug into its final form. In the meantime, however, while the professionals and tradesmen labored to craft a better form of Blackrock, consumption of more primitave versions of the drug (many containing unpure and dangerous qualities) had quickly spread as recreation to large pockets of Deep Dwarven Society. This did not go unnoticed by the Dwarf King Baidren Deepslayer, who demanded that a panel of alchemists, geologists, wizards, and other relevant professionals bring forth to him a worthy sample. Under its influence, Baidren locked himself in his chambers for 3 days, refusing food or drink. He later claimed that he also did not sleep during this period of isolation. At midnight on the third day, Baidren returned to the court a "converted" man. He presented his ideas on the meditative, intellectual, and spiritual benefits of his high. Exuberantly he declared Blakrock a Deep Dwarven sacrement, and implemented its consumption to fit in with current Dwarven establishments and institutions. Baidren and his court were of the firm opinon that the drug must stay a Deep Dwarven secret, and a secret it remained...for a few decades. Baidren Deepslayer is now more or less considered the Patron Saint of Blackrok users. "King Blakrock" is now a slang term, reserved for only this highest quality of the drug.
