Shadowbrew at the Broken Cask

[Instrumental]

Gritty fantasy tavern cue: low strings and hurdy-gurdy drone under a stomping frame drum and clanking tankards; modal fiddle leads trade with a growling bass viol. Melody leans minor with folk ornamentation, shifting from brooding verses into raucous, chanting crowd hooks. Occasional war horn stabs and dulcimer accents suggest lurking danger beneath the drunken revelry.
