Zora has barely set foot on the tenth of the keep's stone steps when a mire-brown geyser explodes over the crumbling walls above her. A huge creature, tall as a tree, drops from the sky amid the downpour. The Bog Hag lands, slick and rubbery, two dozen steps above Zora. Her crouch as much like that of a cat ready to pounce as that of the great, green frog she resembles. Zora's hand moves instinctively toward the sword at her hip and the hag's eyes follow. The powerful thighs of the goddess tense, preparing to spring. Zora stops and forces herself to speak.
"Wait," she says, her voice shaking and small, "I have something for you".
The Hog Bag.
Slowly and carefully Zora undoes the cord, opening up the boar skin pouch. The hag watches cautiously, but with interest, as Zora tips its contents into her open palm.

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

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
