The "Cameron" is a coffee like iced beverage made from large quantities of caramel cinnamon syrup and four shots of espresso, in combination with whip cream, half and half and sprinkles.
It was invented by his His Royal Majesty to stay awake through long projects, and so it has been named after him.

Ordering
The Cameron can be made at any major coffee shop, however ordering it is complex. The phrase of words needed to receive a Cameron are listed below. Count Damien MacGavin of Calontir has presented smaller sizes that will keep the taste integrity of the drink, while decreasing the time altering effects.

Long Term Side Effects

No long term side effects are known currently, however anything that accelerates you through time can not be without a down side.
The Coffee Wars
Shortly after the popularity of The Cameron began to rise, the King of the East, Brennan mac Fearghus, posted the following on his FaceBook Wall:
"In curmudgeonly response to the Cameron, I present the "Brennan". It goes like this: Coffee in a cup. If you want to get fancy for summertime, add ice. No milk. No sugar. No sprinkles or whipped cream. Coffee. Cup. Done. Now, get off my lawn, de-ammit." [1]
This has resulted in a conflict between the Kingdom of the Middle, who's King Cameron has placed his full support behind The Cameron, and King Brennan of the East, who has endorsed drinking coffee black and thusly dubbed "The Brennan".
Mass Pandemonium has ensued as members of each Kingdom rallied to their King, posting images of themselves enjoying the appropriate beverage and besmirching those that consume an improper beverage.
Up until this point, the conflict has not erupted into violence.
Neutral Parties
 Hail! The blood of the fallen angel. |
Some have chosen to stay out of the conflict altogether, and instead to despise those involved.
Official Recognition
Starbucks, one of the world's largest coffee house chains, regularly mines their sales data looking for trends, and noticed a increase in sales in a particular drink in the Midwest. This resulted in The Cameron story and recipe being printed in their corporate newsletter. In theory, "The Cameron" can now be ordered by name at any Starbucks, assuming the employees have read the newsletter.
The Amalie
Not to be outdone, Her Majesty Amalie has cooperated on the development of a drink of her own, called naturally The Amalie
