Milk

Milk was a white fluid that was produced by female mammals. The term was also used to describe white substances from certain plants.

Culinary
Milk could be consumed as it is, or made into several other products. There were several milks that were drunk raw, including that from goats,  catoblepas, yaks, sheep, horses, cows, and caribou. Chimeras also produced milk, but it was thick and black, and was used as an intoxicant, especially by orcs. Some trees, such as cherry trees, produced milk.

Many milks were used to make cheese. Death Cheese was made from catoblepas' milk, Damarite Red was made from goats' milk, Orthin was made from milk of both goats and sheep, and Elturian Grey was made from cows' milk.

It was sometimes added to tea, along with sugar. Milk was fermented and used to make kumiss and koumiss, both alcoholic beverages. Milk was also used in the dish kinche.

Spellcasting
Fat of milk was required when casting the fumble spell, and a single drop of milk could be used as the material component in the death's door spell.

Religion
Followers of Selûne believed milk to be sacred and thus it was used in many ceremonies. On a full moon, these followers would often set bowls of milk outside.

Hathor could produce plentiful milk for large groups, and used it as a sign to communicate with her faithful.

The divine realm of Indra of the Lords of Creation, located primarily in the shared realm of Swarga in the fourth layer of Limbo, was an enormous marble sphere filled halfway with a sea of magically enchanted milk. Indra's castle was located on a turtle-shaped island that floated at the center of the sea.
