Shadowlorn by Mountain Realm
Mountain Realm (of projects Atrium Carceri/Za Frûmi) presents his 3rd album on Cryo Crypt. A mist filled ancient nordic folk tale fantasy that starts in the Whitebark Forest
As the last wisps of sunlight fade, the Whitebark forest succumbs to the Shadowlorn's dark grasp. The ancient trees, once verdant and proud, now stand as skeletal sentinels, their leaves withered and grey. The elves, attuned to the forest's subtle rhythms, feel the Shadowlorn's presence like an open wound, its influence seeping into the land like a chill that cannot be shaken.
In this desperate hour, whispers of a forgotten remedy begin to circulate, spoken in hushed tones around flickering campfires and in the shadowy recesses of the forest. They speak of the Ruby of the Ancients, said to hold the only hope of stemming the Shadowlorn's relentless tide. Hidden deep within the ruins of the Fallen Kingdom, the ruby's existence is a fragile thread, the last lifeline for a world on the brink of collapse.
As the stars begin their slow wheeling in the night sky, the wind stirs, carrying the whispers of the past on its breath. The Fallen Kingdom's crumbling spires, once proud and tall, now stand as a haunting reminder of the transience of power. Yet, it is within these ancient stones that the ruby is said to lie, waiting for one brave enough to claim it. The darkness closes in, but the promise of the ruby remains, a desperate gamble against the Shadowlorn's crushing darkness.
Gather your gear, shoulder your pack, and prepare to venture into the shadows of the Fallen Kingdom.
Recommended for fans of Nordic Folk, retro CRPGs, and PnP RPGs.
