And Firin is trying to reconnect with her former adventurers by going to the end of the world, essentially, way up in the north to try to connect to their spirits.

In particular, Himil, the leader, the hero who slew the demon king.

And that's the goal.

But it's a long, winding adventure, and there are a lot of side quests along the way, which is, it's the highlight, really.

And they take a few months out from their journey to try to find this liquor that's been hidden away.

The Ringer-Verse
Ringer-Verse Recommends: February 2026 (Featuring ‘Frieren’ and a Massive Month for Anime)
