"The opening gives way to a small town inhabited by structures that appear familiar yet alien..."

me after i jump into the void with 52% of hp remaining and realizing i don't have Ignition hook, bell, and a good mobility mantra

this soundtrack hit so fuckin hard when layer 2 first came out and you entered layer 2 blind

pov: you failed trial of one and try to wipe in the depths

The last frantic, hopeless, and meaningless cries of souls to be left forgotten. And who could have thought - that the sea would forget us so easily?

Volume 2 of the original soundtrack for the ROBLOX-based video game Deepwoken, developed by Monad Studios.

Deepwoken: Original Soundtrack (Vol. II)

IUDEX ERGO CUM SEDEBIT,
QUIDQUID LATET, APPAREBIT:
NIL INULTUM REMANEBIT.

[...]

IUSTE IUDEX ULTIONIS,
DONUM FAC REMISSIONIS
ANTE DIEM RATIONIS.

( - a segment from the 'Dies Irae', a Gregorian chant)

Lacrimosa Dies Illa

"There were no words to speak to him of how I felt. Our world was one of blood, and the honour it won; only cowards did not fight. For a prince there was no choice. You warred and won, or warred and died."

( - Madeline Miller, 'The Song of Achilles')
-----

"Sound trumpets! let our bloody colours wave!
And either victory, or else a grave."

( - William Shakespeare, 'King Henry VI', Part III, Act II, Scene II)

The Games Of War

sleepy like a feline
i retract my claws and purr
all while the
lullaby of chaos
tells me nothings sweet and treats politely

( - Naktigonis, 'Lullaby of Chaos')

Catwhisker

"In what distant deeps or skies
Burnt the fire of thine eyes?
On what wings dare he aspire?
What the hand, dare seize the fire?

And what shoulder, & what art,
Could twist the sinews of thy heart?
And when thy heart began to beat,
What dread hand? & what dread feet?

What the hammer? what the chain, 
In what furnace was thy brain?
What the anvil? what dread grasp, 
Dare its deadly terrors clasp!"

( - William Blake, 'The Tyger')

Sin-Smelted Scoriae

"To reassert my rule, I sought out unscrupulous men skilled in the application of force. Tight-lipped and terrifying, these mercenaries brought with them a war machine of terrible implication."

( - The Ancestor, 'Ancestor's Memoirs: The Brigand Pounder', from the video game "Darkest Dungeon")
-----

"Blood and destruction shall be so in use
And dreadful objects so familiar
That mothers shall but smile when they behold
Their infants quarter’d with the hands of war;
All pity choked with custom of fell deeds [...]."

( - William Shakespeare, "Julius Caesar", Act III, Scene I)

And Let Slip The Hounds Of War

"The lightning answers. A colossal knot of violent, violet light stabs through the sky. A sigil of fire! The thunder roars. Your crew wail and shriek. [...] The sigil's meaning is branded into your mind: the erroneous assumption that there will be a tomorrow.

When you blink, you see it. When you sleep you will see it. When you die you will see it."

( - Sunless Skies, 'The Storm That Speaks' interaction)
-----

"Tree-branches cast shadows on the walls of the cave. The light here is not violet, but the cold blue of winter mornings. This is why you came from the Surface. You thought you knew, but you did not, could not know. By the time you leave this place, you will forget again."

( - Fallen London, "Woods in winter" storylet)

The Killing Wind

"Alouette, gentille alouette,
Alouette, je te plumerai!

Je te plumerai la tête,
Je te plumerai la tête.
Et la tête! Et la tête!
Alouette! Alouette!"

( - "Alouette", a French folk/children's song)
-----

"The present life of man upon earth, O King, seems to me in comparison with that time which is unknown to us like the swift flight of a sparrow through the mead-hall where you sit at supper in winter [...]. The sparrow, flying in at one door and immediately out at another, whilst he is within, is safe from the wintry tempest, but after a short space of fair weather, he immediately vanishes out of your sight, passing from winter to winter again.

So this life of man appears for a little while, but of what is to follow or what went before we know nothing at all."

( - St. Bede, "Ecclesiastical History of the English People")

A Scoundrel's Reverie

"the moon grows brighter, sun grows dim,
but night is neither foul nor grim.
so lovely, in autùmnal shades,
them evening proudly masquerades
as dances it a sarabande."

( - Naktigonis, 'the plight of birds')
---

"And the lights, they come swirling,
On the walls they land, twirling.
Dancing nobly and calm,
They might rest on your palm
                 for a while.
[...]
As they waltz on the walls,
They embellish the halls -
My, what beautiful sights
To my eye bring these lights!"

( - Naktigonis, 'dim lights')

A Light In The Sky

"Here in the eye of the storm, the winds ease. You are ringed by scudding clouds. A silver radiance illuminates your engine, like resurgent moonlight [...]. The voices on the wind clamour, until a peal of stern thunder stills them."

( - Sunless Skies, 'The Storm That Speaks' interaction)

The Storm That Speaks

"Impatient winds hound your vessel. Beneath their moan, you can hear whispered voices. They call to you, inviting you to leave your engine and join their revels in the vaults of the sky [...]."

( - Sunless Skies, 'The Whisperwinds' interaction)
-----

"A simple rite. Open windows; shivered words; a wind, welcomed in. Is it a comfort, to know you are not alone? To be watched by one of the capricious gods of the turning sky? Their attention can draw other, unwelcome things."

( - Sunless Skies, 'The Thing in the Mist' interaction)
