Art History

A sturdy barkeep that ran the Ruby Ball Tavern, T'Lrek was renowned for his ales. T'Lrek encouraged bards of any type to visit his abode and it was not uncommon to see him goading 4 or more bards into performing in an evening. On one such night, when there were no less than 5 separate bards waiting to display their skills... one complained of a very sore throat.

Smiling to himself, T'Lrek brought out a flagon of his stoutest brew, something which bards were renowned to have mysteriously clear up there throat and tongues. After drinking it, the bard in question remained standing, but wildly wobbled from side to side, shoving and flailing, the effect lasting a few moments.

Intrigued by the sensation, he requested another, experiencing the same effect - soon everyone was requesting the brew and were staggering around the room. T'Lrek examined the ale and found that under certain conditions, and judicious application of heat, the ale would ferment into something more than ale. Showing this to his wife, a Dreamwright of some repute, he asked if it could be useful to his focus. Agreeing, Jacelyn helped drain the essence of the ale into a new major art for FateSenders - Stagger.

Notes
