The Ballad of Dawnbreak
My DM and I wrote this to kinda sum up both the album and the DnD campaign! In the same way that each track in the album represents a character or the world, each verse represents specific or vague references to the characters and their archetypes!
-
The first verse sets the world up at the edge of an apocalypse
-
A warrior - self sacrifice (Paladin)
-
A bloodstained healer (Cleric)
-
One forging a path despite fear (Ranger)
-
Nature's advocate (Druid)
-
One to break the generational cycle of violence (Monk)
-
Vengeance at any costs (Warlock)
Please enjoy this instrumental version! My DM is on the cello!

The Hero's Practice
A little companion piece to go along with The Hero's Call and Beneath the Orange Mask/Unmask My Light. There's a nice 30 minute version perfect for TTRPGs and DnD (which was it's original purpose!)
​
Not to get too nerdy, but the main four note theme heard in Beneath the Orange Mask gets transformed into a beautiful, John Williams-esque love theme. The Orange Mask is a BBEG in a DnD campaign that possesses one of the party members (Willow) who is in love with the character from The Hero's Call (Faron). I wanted to mix those themes to show Willow's tenuous grasp on reality, is her love for Faron real? or just another hallucination from a demon! Also I used french horn as the main instrument cause Faron plays canonically in the campaign.
