Serenity

The Last Ride of King Hutzpah

Bathory

The Betrayer

Originally submitted to Shroud of the Avatar as a potential candidate for the "Truth" theme song.  It wasn't able to mesh properly with the Love and Courage themes, so unfortunately, this track has became an orphan.  However, it fit perfectly with Duke William of Serenite's idea for a theme song for his player owned town, Serenite.  So, this track has been reborn as the theme song for the city of Serenite in Shroud of the Avatar.

The Clarity of Truth (Serenity) by Jarrod Kailef

This is around the 4th revision or so of the virtue of "Truth" theme as a stand alone track to be played in certain zones in-game. It is composed primarily of medieval (the zither) and early-renaissance strings. An innocent music box alludes back to the original "Power of Virtue" song.

Featuring Grand Duke Kailef on the snare.

This song might be heard in Brittany!

Enjoy!

Holt - "Order of the New Britannian Empire" (Lord British Approved)

The virtue of  Courage theme for the major city of Resolute.

Holt - "Courage"

Version 1 of the Anti-Virtue of Courage: Cowardice

Holt - "Cowardice"

Whether a twisted knot of dark lies, or a sneaky light hearted conspiracy, Falsehood delves deep into the anti-virtue of Truth.

Holt - "Falsehood"

This is a rather unconventional song that was commissioned by Amber Raine of Avatar's Radio.  It is intended to be the wedding march music at her and Gabriel Nightshadow's in-game SotA wedding ceremony on September 27th of 2015.  Unlike most of my songs, this one contains my voice.

Matrimony Unhinged by Jarrod Kailef - For Amber Raine and Gabriel Nightshadow

This song is the result of a collaboration between Drocis Fondorlatos, Richard Daskas, Sharm, and Jarrod Kailef.  Drocis wrote the lyrics and reached out to some Poets' Circle members to bring the song to life.  This song is intended to be the theme music for Drocis' player owned town, "Rats Nest".  Personally, I think the final result is incredible.

Here is the summary of the song, written by Drocis:

The following lyrics are based around the idea that the Oracle from Shroud of the Avatar lore can not be trusted. That no free thinking person in their right mind would listen to a mysterious machine for advice, let alone go on "quests" or perform actions on its behalf. The reason that Rats Nest (my POT) was created was in-part to avoid all this Oracle nonsense and provide a "safe haven" where the Oracle has no sway, where the "protection" from the Oracle is refused (read: Open PVP). This song eludes to that. If the in-game truth is contrary to the song's intent, that's ok! The song was created by an in-game persona that only knows what he thinks he knows. The existence of the song is not intended to be confirmation of any story line that may or may not be present in Shroud of the Avatar. ;)

Partition of Virtuous Pretense

The path is yours.
The prophecy mine.
Your only ask is patience and time.
But truth be told our actions are blind and once they're done there's no more to hide.

How many years and how many lives?
Your counsel grasps hold your advice divides.
How many tears and how many sides?

No watchers, no spies, no riddles, no lies.
No watchers, no spies, no riddles, no lies.

Virtues and fate.
Protection and rules.
The Path to Truth corrupted by fools.
Many prefer the veil of the dead.
Many forget the path to their head.

How many years and how many lives?
Your advice subtracts from free thinking minds.
How many tears and how many sides?

No watchers, no spies, no riddles, no lies.
No watchers, no spies, no riddles, no lies.

Virtues and fate.
Free to advise.
The Path to Love is torn with surprise.
Many prefer the veil of the dead.
Many forget the hunger instead.
Many have lost what must not be said.
Many still want what can not be fed.

How many years and how many lives?
Your sacrifice bleeds additional times.
How many tears and how many sides?

No watchers, no spies, no riddles, no lies.
No watchers, no spies, no riddles, no lies.

Virtues and fate.
Honor supposed.
The Path of Courage (is paved with) forgotten heroes.
We make our own fates.
We tell our own lies.
No wires no cables, no unblinking eye.
No freedom-less will, no needs justified.

How many years and how many lives?
Your paths expand as if multiplied.
How many tears and how many sides?

No watchers, no spies, no riddles, no lies.
No watchers, no spies, no riddles, no lies.

Partition of Virtuous Pretense

This is an instrumental version of Partition of Virtuous Pretense, the theme song for Baron Drocis Fondorlatos' player owned town, Rat's Nest.  It was created by Richard Daskas, Sharm, and Jarrod Kailef. The amazing violin used in place of the vocals was performed by Richard Daskas, Richard also played the guitar and arranged most of the song.  Sharm does not sing in this version besides an occasional bit of harmony, but she wrote the main vocal melody that Richard plays.  I barely did anything besides percussion and a little bit of creative direction.  :-)
