Step into the bustling port city of Boralus through the eyes of Flynn, a young tavern worker whose dreams of adventure are about to collide with world-changing events. When Brother Paxton arrives with the last barrels of Northshire wine and tales of Deathwing's devastating emergence, Flynn must confront his own restless spirit. Set against the backdrop of World of Warcraft's Cataclysm, this intimate character study weaves together personal history, world-altering events, and the simple power of shared stories over ale.
