Zinwrath is the title character of the movie, a warlock created and voiced by Benjamin Pickerel. The short-film follows Zinwrath and his cohorts, Basutei the paladin, Sicknot the mage, and Burakubuu the night elf merchant as they each over-complicate and muddle their way through initially simple situations. Along the way they encounter the desperately lonely Dirti the gnome, and the arrogant axe-wielding warrior Kiljoy.
