This is a a wonderful travelogue through these forgotten realms; differing places woven in music. Not just the great founders and rulers, but a glimpse, a sense of the people. It is masterful storytelling, broad sweeps and intricate detail in moments. I can’t help feel as though besides simply basking in its treasure, it is the perfect soundtrack for any city set scenario too.
Superb, thoughtful work indeed.

This is quite the journey! The tracks have a lot of room to breathe and each one tells a very interesting and immersive story. I can hardly wait to receive the cassette! It’s very much got a retrospective sound that is reminiscent of Era 1 Mortiis at times, and the story is also quite engaging and I would love to read a book (or books) set in the world that Faydark is building.
Favorite track: Cormanthyr.

The album 'Lost Empires' tells the story of 4 different Kingdoms within the Forgotten Realms continent of Faerûn.
From the Sword Coast to Icewind Dale and beyond - Each Kingdom has a rich history and a story of both downfall and renewal.
Myth Drannar
"A great city of Sembia. Engendered by a powerful Mythal. High Magic concentrated to manipulate the Planar Fabric. The thin veil of Feywild and Demiplane of Dread. South of the Moonsea and Pillar of Faerûn, it's Warden the great Legendary Mythanthar. Flush with Spellfield and Portal Magic. Until it's ruin - In the year 1374 DR by the Agents of Daemonfey."
Cormanthyr
"Crown of the Coronal and seat of the Tel'Quessir. Dwelling of the wild cohorts of Silvanus and the Elven Conclave of Evermeet. Upon which the forces of Gray Waste sought the Nether Scrolls of Legend. Yugoloths of Trio Nefarious became a great Blight upon the Land. It fell in 1487 DR. It's subjects fled to Semberholme and it's forests became infested with Drow."
Shadowdale
"Land of the Twisted Tower. Home of the Chosen of Mystra - The Great Sage Elminster. East to the Havens of Cormanthyr. Fixed in the Dalelands and ruled by the Great Wizard Ashaba. Throne of Storm Silverhand and Syluné. It repelled Zhentarim invaders until the year 1345 DR when the pretender Lyran made War on Moungrym and fomented the Time Of No Lords."
Silverymoon
"Gem of the North Forgotten Realms. It's Invisible Moonbridge glowed by the Silver Light of the Lunar Arcane. By the Spellguard of Alustriel and the Rank of Silverwatch - It's confederation of Magic was a Haven of Silver Light. It's enemies the Toril and the Underdark. In 1358 DR - An Army from Menzoberranzan laid seige to it's Mithral Hall."

Neomedieval folk dungeon synth from an anonymous Salt Lake City composer and musician. There are no credits, but obviously, synths play a part in creating the imaginary worlds this artist conjures up. Plenty of plinkiness here, in a most delightful way, could be harp, harpsichord, or hammered dulcimer, or maybe all three. Let yourself be enchanted.

La même technique, un autre message... Après avoir mis au grand jour le déchirement dont l'humain est affligé pendant la première partie de sa carrière, Fogweaver change de point de vue dans Vedurnan et nous fait entrer dans le royaume des dragons. La sobriété qui caractérise son dungeon synth reste de mise mais elle assume une direction plus fantastique. Parfois, certains instruments sont en léger décalage, comme pour s'affranchir de la trame rythmique — beaux et libres tels les dragons...
