Hiss from a collapsed Fort

by Glog

supported by

Dave Aftandilian Another solid epic fantasy quest from the powerful imaginings of Glog. You really feel the melancholy fate of the doomed regiment, and their resigned resolve to do their duty even so. My spirit soars and sinks; my eyes widen in awe and terror at the creatures we encounter. Pick up your sword or staff and join the journey!

Hiss from a collapsed Fort

“We need reinforcements to the garrison on the remote coast of Speralia, you must leave as soon as possible under the command of a platoon of elite soldiers”. The order had come peremptory in the night. You just needed the time to stockpile the supplies and shoe the horses, then you were already on your way towards those regions newly conquered, the last outpost of the empire. The worst news came within hours from the departure: the connections with the outpost were completely interrupted.

Jamir the invalid, wizard of Voltanar, had warned you: “My people never violated the sacred border that divides the known lands from the lands of Speralia, washed by the still sea of Groogh!”. Only after arriving at your destination you understood how Jamir was right...

Speralia was a stubbornly flat region, barren and dominated by a heavy yellowish sky. Its beaches had something hazy and depressing, in perfect harmony with the sea of Groogh: a boundless pool of dead water, disturbing in its absolute stillness. The sacred border that Jamir was talking about, seemed to you not so much a geographical border, but the border between the world of life and death...

The fort appeared on the horizon on the sixth day of travel: part of the fortifications seemed to have crashed under the weight of giant boulders rained down from the sky and a watchtower had completely collapsed. Everything was still. You began to hear the noise a few hundred steps from the fences: a hiss, at first barely perceptible, then increasingly loud until it pervaded the entire acoustic spectrum. You were forced to enter through the hole in the fence because the entrance door was closed from the inside and no one answered your calls. You saw the faces of your experienced soldiers whiten: the interior of the fort was invaded by thousands and thousands of snakes. What happened to the soldiers? What did all this mean?

The answer came shortly thereafter accompanied by another sound: a dull and deep rumble, a roar that made the earth tremble under your feet and that - finally - rippled the glassy surface of the dying sea of Groogh ...

Vedurnan

If nostalgia for an age where creatures of myth walked together with the children of men had a soundtrack, this album would be it. Also, a touching reminder that we can forego wealth and power for wilderness and freedom, if we so choose. emanuele127

I met Fogweaver through Vedurnan and, later, Magelight. This more energetic take on their music is wonderful and exciting, a compelling twist bearing their unique signature. emanuele127

One of my favorite dungeon synth albums, and I had only heard it a few days ago for the first time. Perfect for drifting off to sleep, but also for driving under the canopy of trees. It is very soft, and pleasant, yet vast at times. The ambient forest sounds are extremely soothing. A wonderful work of art that feels as refreshing as diving into the deeps of a natural, cold spring in the eves of summer. Bjorn
