Wainthcup Tradition / Ritual in Vertinall | World Anvil

Wainthcup

As you probably don't know, the elves are a rowdy lot. Class is completely out the window when it comes to an Elf. They're rude, crude, and usually smell bad. Even worse than some Orcs (To be fair most Orcs smell like fresh bread, which is amazing. So I guess that's not that hard to do).   Here's a tradition that you'll only ever find done by an Elf, or just a super duper sad person!

History

This began one day when Referrnial forgot to buy in some sauce for his stir fry. Having already gotten started he didn't want to go out to get some, so the part of his brain that makes good choices said "Nah, you're on your own", and he dived into the cupboard and grabbed the first thing he could find.

  Jesus, maybe he should look for something el- he's already pouring it in.   Do NOT ask me how this dingus didn't blow up his house doing this crap, because I haven't got a clue either, but whatever came out of that little kitchen blew his damn mind.   Probably the fumes.   After a single bite he immediately burst out of his home, screaming out into the streets to inform everyone of his discovery. After how much he had already had, combined with whatever the heck he ate, made the words coming out of his mouth barely sound elven, let alone common.  
What was supposed to be
"USE WHATEVER IS IN YOUR CUPBOARD!"
turned into
"YOU WAINTHCUP!"
  When he came to a couple weeks later, he explained his methods to everyone in a language that exists, and from there word spread like wildfire. Everyone was having a go at their take on 'Wainthcup'. It's been a household tradition since, though tamed down slightly overtime as to not disrupt an elf's regular drinking schedule.

That's it. That's how I die. This joke. I'm dead.

  I like how you're turning tropes on their heads, with elves being more like classical dwarves, evil kings being tea lovers, and orcs smelling nice apparently.

NOTHING MUST MAKE SENSE. I won't allow it. I'm glad you're enjoying the chaos, though!
