I'm such a big fan of how the Feywild is characterized in Dungeons and Dragons. Yes it's a beautiful forested landed of twinkling twilight. Yes it's filled with adorable animated plant spirits and pixies and sprites. And yes just about everything wants to trick you, eat you, kill you, and mess up your plans however they see fit. It's such a fun location to roleplay because you have to worry about a whole different set of risks and threats. It's not just a bunch of skeletons and orcs looking to poke you with their swords, but a slew of truly chaotic psychopaths who'll have you accidentally falling for illusions, charms, and every wacky spell in the book.
So here's "Ullha Dore'i," the tune I wrote for your January track request. Like my usual Feywild music, I tried to evoke a bit of that illusory charm with some psychedelic trippy production, some mysterious whooshes and resonances, and lush spacious reverbs. I also tried to get the whole elven / fey character from instrument choice: plenty of bells, various harps, and Enya-esque "oohs and ahhs." It's sweet, but in a disarmingly menacing way. Whoever is singing this song may be trying to sleep with you, but you're certain they've got something else up their sleeve as well.
If you want a far sparser version, there's a stripped down ambient mix available to anyone at the Artist tier and up. Thanks so much!
