This song is so wonderful I can't stop myself from listening to it a second time immediately. Sharm is amazing!  This song gives the game an unexpected depth.  I keep thinking somebody should make a video using this song as the soundtrack, and it would make an amazing intro video to the game or maybe make it an end credit song or maybe play it as part of an important specific game event.

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.

Holt - "Truth" (Lord British Approved)

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.

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 track was created for Duke Gréagóir's player-owned island town, Duchy of Dara Brae, in Shroud of the Avatar. The town is known for having the only custom Yew Tree in Novia. It  is named after this tree as Dara Brae roughly translates to "tree on the slope of a hill."

The music is Celtic-inspired featuring bagpipes, violins, an Irish penny whistle, and vocals sung by Sharm.

Yew Tree of Dara Brae

The One Night Stand recorded around 2000 or 2001. 

Vocals, Guitar - Gavin Graber
Lead Guitar - Hazen Ziringer
