"Quickly and comfortably, you fall asleep around the camp fire, and once more find yourself slipping into dreams of fey landscapes and creatures. You've had these dreams many times before. ever since you journeyed through the Feywild, but tonight they are stronger, more vivid. You see a path through the trees, towards the...

As a late Christmas present to you all, I've added three new Bonus Tracks to the download archive. (also attached to this post). These are older tracks of mine which I think work well enough within the TTRPG genre.

"The arctic tundra stretches out before your eyes. At the centre of the vast ice sheet you see a single heavy oak door. A soft voice from behind it calls to you, inviting you within. As you pass through, the shivering cold is replaced by the warm of a crackling fire which burns majestically at the centre of an ancient fae...

Hey folks!
It's the end of the year and I've received a whole load of amazing track suggestions from my Bard tier supporters, many of which I've yet to work on. So December will be dedicated to catching up on some of those suggestions as best I can.
So far the suggestions I'm considering working on are:

"She was a great warrior, and a good friend," Naefir says to the group, his eyes awash wish tears which flow down his elfin skin. "We watched her grow from inexperienced adventurer to a hero that the bards will sing of for an age or more. Where once she was a stranger to us all, she died as family. We will never forgot he...

"We laid the bodies of our fallen companions in a ritual circle. Slowly, the chant began, ushering their spirits from their bodies. We felt great sadness as we said our final farewells, but as their souls were freed from their mortal constrains, we knew that at least they would find peace in the afterworld."
"The chamber is lit by the flame of a fading torch, flickering through a daze of dust. Your feet tread slowly across stone tiled floor. There are statues on either side of the room. Mighty heroes, wielding stone-carved depictions of ancient weapons of myth. They tower over you, their shadows long. What deeds did these her...

Not every adventure ends in victory. Sometimes, the odds are too great. Heroes fall. Legends are forgotten. But there must always be hope, even when the world looks at its darkest.

"Slowly, from below the hill, the procession of mourners moves upwards. Together they carry the body of the fallen warrior atop their shields. Townsfolk gather around, sobbing and throwing flowers. At last, the procession reaches the pyre, and the body is placed atop. Then, with a whoosh of flame, the pyre is lit, and the...

"Fire represents vibrancy, passion, and change. At its best, fire can reflect the light of inspiration, the warmth of compassion, and the flame of desire... but at its worst, it is nothing but cruel and wantonly destructive. Worse, there are those that would twist this otherwise-mindless power to their own ends."
