lyrics

The day had begun early for others on the peninsula too; some miles away in a makeshift camp, horns sounded. Helmets were equipped and horses mounted. The Essermen, the King’s company of law enforcers, rode out.

The Wanderer’s thoughts were interrupted by this distant commotion.
Jolted from his reverie he hurried back towards his dawn viewpoint, to find its source. From there it was easy to see the smoke of the recently extinguished campfires snaking slowly to the sky. He thought it odd to see Essermen banners in these hills, there were so few people settled here or working the limited areas of arable land.

Sighting the lone figure on the hillside, the riders diverted towards him, horses trampling the long grass beneath them. Before he had a chance to consider the meaning of their presence, The Wanderer was surrounded by eight men, each well armoured in chain and helmets adorned with the red backed golden fist crest of the Kingdom. They dismounted simultaneously, the clanging of metal reverberating from all angles, a swirling wind accompanied them…

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
