Primary marks the center of The Hymnal. It is ruled by Libra and positioned between sorrow, chaos, and transformation. In the myth, this is the golden age of the Arcani. Under Anthromancer’s silent guidance, the Arcanum brings power, beauty, and connection to all of Akash. Cities rise; matter bends, and the song of progress hums beneath.

In Mercenarium, Primary lets you glimpse the future—three Hymnal cards revealed, one chosen. It’s a quiet card, but one that can utterly reshape the game. In Dragonfruit, it represents knowledge: the power of understanding, the control of perception. Its alteration is empathy born of awareness.

Primary is the only instrumental track on the album. No lyrics. Just a chill, glassy sci-fi soundscape. Built in collaboration with Patrick Creselius, who brought dynamic shape and color to its minimalism.

GONDISHAPUR - A THOUSAND AND ONE PERSIAN NOTES

Українською:
Це не історія про завоювання. Це історія про тих, кого не змогли взяти ні мечем, ні ярмом.
Цивілізація, що виросла з землі, розуму й присяги. Перун як громовержець і свідок, варяги як ті, хто прийшли не грабувати, а творити.
Ми — буря, коли нас торкаються, і ґрунт, якого не зрушать.

English:
This is not a story of conquest. It’s the story of those who could not be taken by sword or by yoke.
A civilization grown from soil, reason, and oath. Perun as thunder and witness, the Varangians as those who came not to plunder, but to shape.
We are the storm when provoked, and the ground that cannot be moved.


Від леза меча до коріння землі
Ми кували державу, несучи вогні
Не малі, не покірні, не тінь чужа
Громова кров, незламна душа

ВОЛЯ! У знаку живе
ЗЕМЛЯ! Тризубом гуде
ПЕРУН! Нам силу дає
РІД! Не впаде і не щезне

Весла прийшли не для грабунку й ярма
Аби сплести залізо й ярий камінь Дніпра
Меч не з пожежі, з присяги й шляху
Ми, буря із ґрунту, а не здобича страху

ВОЛЯ! У знаку живе
ЗЕМЛЯ! Тризубом гуде
ПЕРУН! Нам силу дає
РІД! Не впаде і не щезне

Нас не скорили, ми землю тримали
Ми не молили, ми розумом брали
Київ не впав, сам виріс у силі
Ми не раби, ми корінь родини

Не впали, вистояли
Не тікали, різали
Не молились, діяли
Не корились, ширились

ВОЛЯ! У знаку живе
ЗЕМЛЯ! Тризубом гуде
ПЕРУН! Нам силу дає
РІД! Не впаде і не щезне


Буря і Земля

Civilization : Eras & Allies - Egypt Story

New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 130

The hard part of building and protecting civilization is that we have to do it while maintaining the values and principles of civilization. That means while the enemies of civilization can run amok and break rules, norms, policies, laws, and expectations, we cannot. We have to do everything by the book. It's not just that we need to on a matter of principle, though. We also must as a matter of strategy. In a two-tiered system like the Woke Left has set up for itself, it gets to excuse itself for breaking the rules, but we will not have that luxury. In this episode of New Discourses Bullets, host James Lindsay breaks down the need for us to win by the book so we can preserve the book. Join him to learn how to fight for things worth fighting for.

We Must Win By the Book

New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 131

What is civilization? What is it based on? In the biggest picture, there are three fundamental pillars to civilization: truth, justice, and love. (You'll notice how Biblical this is.) Truth allows us to make real, meaningful strides, and reality will punish us if we fail to keep to it. Justice is necessary to keep people functioning together and working for their society and the American Dream. But these must also be pursued with an orientation toward love, not enmity, if we are to foster a civilization instead of a tribalistic warzone. Join host James Lindsay for this important episode of New Discourses Bullets where he lays out these three crucial pillars of civilization.

The Three Pillars of Civilization

Neither the people reading this description, nor the man writing it, truly have a grasp on how far away from nature our civilization is.  Not one of us.  Many of us, however, DO understand that we don't understand it.  The few who don't get it think they can just go to an island and create a civilization.  Living in actual civilization is easy; how hard could it be to make one by myself with no knowledge and a reluctance to accept sound advice?

Hi! My name is Karl, and I come from a small town in the north. I craft my music on the computer, creating a sound that’s as intriguing as it is powerful. My music takes listeners on a journey through sentimentality, depth, darkness, happiness, and metaphors — all woven into a unique sound that sets me apart from other artists. I write every lyric myself, pouring my soul and heart into each word. My lyrics are born from my life experiences; some tell true stories I believe people see with their eyes, while others are straight from my imagination, blending reality with fantasy.

Join me on this exciting new chapter in my musical journey. Hip-hop and Rap are closest to my heart after a challenging year in 2015. Before the accident, my soul was rooted in Rock and Country music. Life has a way of changing things, but Rock and Country remains deep inside me.

I hope my songs resonate with you. Feel free to like and follow if my music moves you — thank you for your support!

Mythic synthpop for the end of the world.

Anthromancer is the sonic wing of a transmedia myth created by Daniel James Drake—a fusion of game, oracle, and concept album. The debut LP, The Hymnal, scores the fall and rebirth of a fictional civilization, blending icy electronica with poetry into a 13-track spiritual epic.

Our sound is somewhere between The Postal Service, Muse, Aesop Rock, and Nobuo Uematsu, with shades of Röyksopp and our venerable RPG nostalgia. The sound is cinematic, existential, and driven by a hunger to be known.
