Sparse Fortress
Added 2021-03-09 21:09:34 +0000 UTCExploring long-abandoned castles, cathedrals, and catacombs is such a staple of fantasy RPGs. Those moments before combat starts or traps are sprung can be incredibly moody and tense. For music, you want something that evokes 1) space, 2) mood, and 3) flavor. I believe "Saga of Stone (Ambient)" does just that. You hear a track like this, and you know that 1) this place is big and reverberant, 2) there's a Dark Soulsian sadness in these crumbling ruins, and 3) we are indeed in a far-off land.
This one is going to get a lot of use. Throw it on in a place that was once inhabited. Anything will do. Old graveyards count as well. A little bit spooky, a little bit sad, and overflowing with cryptic messages, just like all of my exes. I think this might work in one of those "Very Sad Towns" that are common in RPGs as well.
As always, looping versions of this and the original are provided below. Thanks y'all!
