Azure Skies

Hallowed Halls

An original character theme I wrote for an old D&D character of mine, Gerimund Lighthorn the dwarf Oath of Conquest paladin. The track art is also an illustration of him.

Gerimund Lighthorn

Yajona di Sadi

Nighttime track for Riverhold exploration.

Trevan, have you come to observe the late night splendor of our city? Dro'khur is afraid that it is not like it once used to be. Especially on the eastern bank. Khajiit recalls how the city once greeted travelers with a story or song. Merchants from west, south, north and even east. Yes, even from the Rim, as hard as it is for Dro'khur to believe. Before the wars, floats carrying goods would come down the rivers and all would meet in the great Bazaar... The streets bustled with people from all over. This one can remember the scent of saffron on his whiskers in the morning, the loud haggling from the streets and busy cranking carts passing by. This one thought that this city would never fall asleep.

Yet then... Slowly, like a tumultuous kitten before the night of storms... It slowly started giving into the slumber. After the moons, our mane disappeared. And after him Elsweyr. But the elves would soothe our worries, for the mane's chosen would continue in his stead. Some queen in the far south and the worried king sitting in his throne in the west. Dro'khur was uncaring as ever, as saffron would still greet this Khajiit's nose in the morning as he would greet the travelers with a note. Though as bentness arrives to one in silence, so did the worry in one's mind. The king allied to the elves as did the queen in the south. The city in the east allied to itself. The lands of men in the north would care little for us, seeing our city as the same as rest of the Dominion. So the trade would dwindle and with it the scent of saffron in the morning. 
 
And then the war happened. Though we got more to trade with it, unlike in Anequina, the wars are not forever elsewhere. And so after that one, came another, smaller one in the east. All Dro'khur wishes is that him and his city was left at peace. Yet with each passing year, this one starts doubting that it will happen. Like with the silent bazaar, like the abandoned eastern part of the city, like the silent streets... Dro'khur is the last from his street now. No one is left to remember the last days of saffron. Only him. But this one is leaving now, as there is nothing left for him, just sadness. This one will leave for Skingrad or Dune. Perhaps this one will find more luck there. Stay around for a bit, if you want. Before Dro'khur leaves, let him show you his instrument collection. Perhaps you will find a better use for it, for Dro'khur no longer wants to sing his lullaby as the city has finally fallen asleep.

This is my take on the wonderful Daniel Ran's "Of Storms and Half-Light" (https://soundcloud.com/danielran/beyond-skyrim-bruma-of-storms-and-half-light), and it is also heavily influenced by Eric Gordon's rendition(https://soundcloud.com/ericgordoncomposer/of-storms-and-half-light). If you haven't already, please give both of these wonderful composers a follow! This is also my "audition piece" to become part of Beyond Skyrim, specifically Elsweyr, and as such, it breaks away from the general feel of the original piece in order to demonstrate other things I can do. I hope you enjoy!

|UNOFFICIAL| Of Storms And Half-Light Elsweyr Version (Beyond Skyrim Audition)

Beyond Skyrim: Elsweyr OST

The dense jungles of Elsweyr truly reveal their wondrous splendor during the rain, as the tears of Khenarthi fall to the ground.

[OUTDATED] Khenarthi Weeps

Beyond Skyrim: Elsweyr OST

The gentle rustles of the leaves convey the melancholic longing of the trees of Tenmar Forest, and the inhabitants within it.

[OUTDATED] Tenmar Forest

Beyond Skyrim: Elsweyr OST

North of the Tenmar Basin lies the strange, smothering rainforest known as The Cloud Forest. The fingers of the earth stretch out of the thick fog, pillars of mossy rock plunging down into the depths below. Rattling bridges stretch from pillar to pillar, hanging over a vaporous sea.  Far below are the vine-wreathed, forgotten monasteries, remnants of another age.

Will you brave the mists? This one wishes you blessing, for even he will not dare.

[OUTDATED] Woes Of The Pahmar

Beyond Skyrim: Elsweyr OST

Motes of sunlight dance upon the forest floor, instilling tranquility and beauty in the misty forest of Pelletine.

[OUTDATED] Vasa Ra'shana

Beyond Skyrim: Elsweyr OST

The Khajiit of Anequina dream of their distant past, long forgotten. Their sugared visions whisper of great cities that rose and fell out of the desert, of gods that would fight and play in the red-stained sands. Those days are long since gone. The Khajiit will never truly remember what they once were, for the best kept secret is a forgotten one.

But the sands and stars remember...

Of Sands And Stars

Beyond Skyrim: Elsweyr OST

The Rim is a cruel and violent land, a reflection of the oppression suffered by the Khajiit. In the Highlands, the dead wind whistles across the sky like lonely cries in the moonlight.

Cries In The Moonlight

Beyond Skyrim: Elsweyr OST

Elsweyr is a land of change. The sky spins on its axis, the dunes shift and dance across the wastes. Love and war, peace and devastation; all are seen in these Southern lands. However, no matter how much Anequina changes, one thing will always remain the same: blood can only be paid in blood, and all great aspirations end in death under the moons.

Sallidadna Kha'jay

Beyond Skyrim: Elsweyr OST

Springing up suddenly at the convergence of three dusty-looking roads, Riverhold is a spectacle of colors.  Irregular saffron walls beckon weary travelers to a city of domes, grain silos, and towers of faded azure and cream, vermilion and chocolate, gold and jet.  From a distance the city seems welcoming and crowded: at once exuberant and tired.
