Loss of Honor "Shroud of the Avatar" [Final Mix]

This song is for the submission for Shroud of the Avatar. Song name "Elven Truth Seeker" for the city of Vertas. I used the choir to mention the name of the city (Vertas) in the song as well. 
Was fun to make.

Okay, so, I'm not sure that I'm really good at the overly pleasant and happy sounding stuff.  But, here's my attempt at the happy song "Milk and Honey", intended for Portalarium to use in a cozy human village setting.

Milk and Honey (LB Approved) by Jarrod Kailef - SotA TTF Track(Unblemished)

Truth (music box), Love (violin), Courage (french horns).

This is the same arrangement as previous versions with drums back in -- just less of them. Some volume and panning tweaks. Trying to go easy on the EQ but might have to dive back in to master this on a few different speakers/headphones.

Holt - "Power of Virtue" (Lord British Approved)

Truth on Zither (a medieval instrument) -gradual complexity
Love on a Large Dizi (chinese silk road wind instrument)
Courage on solo Trumpet & Low Brass

The objective was to make this song less heavy than the "Power of Virtue" version, pull the reverb way back and give it a more traditional feel, while still retaining elements of epic fantasy. Female vocals are a placeholder intro/outro idea. Not necessary, but I felt it was a nice touch that further unites the songs.

Holt - "Light of Virtue" (Lord British Approved)

This track is a collaboration between Jarrod Kailef and myself. Kailef wrote the violin melody and made several decisions in regards to the form, flow and energy of the piece. I contributed to the composition, recording, and production of the track.

"Salty Dog Shanty" by Richard Daskas and Jarrod Kailef

I tried to make this track both a little atmospheric and "creepy" sounding since it will be played among ruins and such.  However, since it's also a combat song, I worked hard to give it a urgent, aggressive feel as well.  I hope you like it.

Combat & Ruins (LB Approved) by Jarrod Kailef - SotA TTF Track (The Hidden Threat)

Yo Ho Hum, I Really Need Some Rum

Volga Sea Shanty

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.
