If I had to explain the world of this trilogy as short as possible, imagine the general feel of the Lord of the Rings and the Brothers Grimm tales fused together, with a pinch – or rather a heavy load – of Lovecraftian horror.

eating pasta has never felt so mysterious

[azuretigers]

@Adrian Von Ziegler : I use these tracks for my battles in Dungeons in Dragons, and my Diablo-themed campaign. You can't imagine the comments I get about the nice feeling of immersion. My players are DELIGHTED and the sessions are EPIC. Thank you very much, you are an amazing composer. I will buy the albums.

[vocorus]

I'm a programmer; writing code has never felt so ominous.

[holodukea]

As a vampire i can say this is excellent morning music.

[corbeau]

I'm writing a D&D campaign and just decided on who the big bad for the series is going to be

this is gonna be the playlist for the final dungeon of the campaign

his Mariana-Trench-levels-of-deep ruined underwater temple :)

[saxophonejazzmusicbgm]

To the generation who grew up with this kind of songs, you are legendary.

[BIONICforge_Studios]

Over three hours of absolute magic and talent. My ears applaud you, and thank you for making music that invokes such deep emotion in everyone.

[NatureGuyy]

To the one reading this, let's meet here after 10 years after we all are successful.
Until then, take care. See you in 2030.

[Hirohitorunguard]

"the forsaken throne" REALLY just hits *different.* i can't explain it but i got goosebumps through the entire song.

[dullish]

There once was a prince who never sat on a throne.
Always by himself, always standing alone.

Always watching as his sister was in charge.
Until one day, the fires of vengeance grew too large.

To the Queen's park he would travel, day after day.
Once and for all, his own sibling he would slay.

But she never showed up, perhaps she knew what was fated.
That didn't stop the prince, who still waited and waited.

Until one day, his waiting paid off.
His sister sat down, but she looked a bit rough.

The Prince couldn't bring himself to kill her, instead asking her what's wrong.
"My followers..." She said, "They're all gone."

This made the prince feel sad, and he felt like there was one thing to say...
"You will always have me. All you need to do... is lead the way."

[Nalimias]

"Twisted" totally sounds like something out of Fable. I love it.

[SolasComposer]

Man I love this, the way you progressively harmonise the violin layers is so exquisite, the depth and darkness brings me beautiful chills as well. Thanks for the inspiration, it's so cool that you in a theme organise the music, 3 albums dedicated to this style is greatly impressive as well. I will certainly listen to this a lot in the background to further develop my knowledge on Dark Fantasy Music. Also just to vibe. If I could I'd listen to this at work instead of needing to listen to mainstream commercial radio to be honest, mainstream radio drives me insane lol.

[mayascape]

These songs are absolutely perfect for running a creepy undead encounter in a fantasy campaign. Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful gifts with us! My players all loved it!

[nebulousintent]

used this for a tense combat encounter in my campaign and it fit PERFECTLY

[TerraFantasy]

That sweetened 3 hours of my life. Delicious and beautiful string work here!

[FanTaisiaAmbience-sm]

It doesn't matter where we are from. It doesn't matter what religion we follow, what language we speak, or what country we are from. What matters is feeling the music's essence and if millions of people like you feel the same way, then the music has achieved its purpose. To everyone who is listening to this music right now and thinking about their past, feeling sad, happy, nostalgic, hopeful, crying, thinking, laughing, and looking towards the future with optimism, I send my greetings. With love from Turkey.

CURSE OF STRHAD! CURSE OF STRHAD! CURSE OF STRHAD! CURSE OF STRHAD!

Reading through the module and planning on using this playlist on my games. Very nice very nice. Also helping keep me awake during online classes.

[yepthatslucas]

I've used this exact video nearly every week for over a year for my dnd game. To play any other music for that game feels like sacrilege. I must thank you sincerely for the incredible music.
