about

This album is an ode to the second Age of the Realm. Chronicled as the Age of Kings, when the people of the Realm decided to segregate regions, embracing their unique cultures and electing leaders to Rule over each one. The Second Age spanned nearly 2000 years, from (AE- After Emergence ) 1000 to AE 2999) and established 5 unique Kingdoms plus a 6th that only one knew of. These Kingdoms were:

The Astral Hold - Pocket Dimension that existed as the throne to the Cosmic Functions, Atua and Nūl. Mother and father of the Immortal.

Archspire - A lush and peaceful Kingdom said to have the most beautiful meadows that stretched for miles. Archspire also controlled the Port Diaeresis. A fishing community and proto Naval/ Distribution to the rest of the Realm. Famous for being the birthplace of Legendary Captain R'meatheria Dirt.
It's in the Port where a young Bard plays his haunting melodies to seagulls and tidal waves.

Grimtundra - The Northern frozen Region overseen by a grizzled Ruler dubbed the Ruined King in the fortress utop the highest rigid peak named the Shivers Temple. Gigantic walls with enormous Gates barricades this region. For not to let those in, but keep the Ice Goliaths and Winters Hounds from getting out.

The Dunelands of Tou'ūn and neighboring Region of the Sunless Lands - A dry and unrelenting sandscape, where the winds whisk grains of sand so ferociously that anyone not born and raised with the thick skin to withstand it would be torn apart. Here the Emperor Cro'Korath rules over as the Emperor of Dust and overseer of the Sunless Lands Black Tower that houses the Cosmic Entity known as the Shapeless Ones. Making sure the tower remains or the Gods help all if they are freed.

Feirūl and the Whispering, Withered Woods - Home to Jarachai and Thandrial, grieving lovers who will one day find a following in other outsiders looking to go on dangerous adventures with the legendary couple, learning too late they they were only dungeon crawling as a means to snuff out their immense grief of losing their beautiful daughter to the plague.
It's here where a Forge Masters wife will await a clandestine Immortal to arrive with the materials her husband needs to forge his new blade, Mammoth Smasher . And it's here where the famous gatherings and celebrations of the Kingdoms are held in a night called the Dance of Embers.
