Shards of the Storm Variants

Hey folks!

I hope you enjoyed that giant new collaboration. It was really fun to release so much music all in one go. I also hope you check out friends of Music d20: Ela Morana, Adventure Music, and Boy King of Idaho are all releasing some stellar tunes on their respective Patreons.

My two tracks that I contributed were also some of my favorites in recent memory. "Honor in the Storm" is a specific breed of epic that I need to approach very carefully lest I end up covered in cheese. Likewise "In the Warmth of the Fire" is one of those tavern tracks that you can (hopefully) loop endlessly without getting tired of it.

Now for the variants!

"Honor in the Storm (Strings)" is a very 1-to-1 rearrangement of the tune for a large string orchestra. I think it actually maintains a lot of the epic character, but without the bombast of the big horn, drums, and my autotuned belting. This is still suitable fight music, but might be better for those intense-but-not-quite-combat moments in your campaigns.
"In the Warmth of the Fire (Ambient)" is... you know, ambient. It's perfect for long stretches of frosty wandering. This is what you hear when you walk into a frozen cave and you think "am I going to slay a troll? or contend with traps? or meet a lair of kobolds?" This is cold and neutral.

You know the deal by now: loops of the originals as well as the variants are also provided below. I've been really bombarding you with tracks these past few weeks, so if you're a bit behind on downloading, it might be easier to just grab the zip from the Master Post!
