lyrics

The Wanderer turned a full circle, calmly introducing himself and explaining his presence, trying to gauge which face was the one of authority and preferably of kindness. He found little of the latter. Although only their eyes were visible over their covered faces, the men showed no sign of emotion and responded in short shouted sentences. They spoke of new laws coming to force. This land was soon to be required for the Kingdom, for wood and stone, and all such resources that could be gathered. Those found living here were to be taxed by the realm or face arrest for obstruction of the expansion of the Kingdom.

There was no talking his way out of this, the terse tone of the Essermen suggested they already had a preference for the violent option, and their hands on their weapons made it abundantly clear. The Wanderer began to edge backwards when a large shield thrust into the back of his head, flinging him forwards to the ground. Two men from each side took the opportunity to tear his backpack from his person, sending clothes, pans and the gathered mushrooms scattering. The largest man faced him with sword in hand, but chose to kick swiftly to the stomach. A fisted blow then struck across his face, and although he tried to stand and offer a defence, the endeavour was useless. He fell face first at their feet, and drifted out of consciousness…

If nostalgia for an age where creatures of myth walked together with the children of men had a soundtrack, this album would be it. Also, a touching reminder that we can forego wealth and power for wilderness and freedom, if we so choose. emanuele127

I met Fogweaver through Vedurnan and, later, Magelight. This more energetic take on their music is wonderful and exciting, a compelling twist bearing their unique signature. emanuele127
