Well, it took me one year to get inspiration, time
and forces to continue my fantasy cycle "Tairon Saga"
I started out back in the November 2000. All the year
I was busy with tracking psychodelic goa tracks until
I receved an invitation to take part in developing
soundtracks for turn-based strategy "Imerion"...well
thankfully, it made me track fantasy music again ;)
"Road to Naelod" has been tracked to be Dwarven Theme
in the soundtrack. I tried to invent the correct mood
which would suit to turn-based strategy and resemble
Dwarven music...though I am not sure that somebody ever
listened to REAL Dwarven music...;D Nevertheless, I
believe I succeed the given task. Hope, you'll consider
this track interesting and will enjoy it as well.
...initially the road was what we used to call "road" -
broad and made of stones, it ran from the largest human
trade city Erandin up to Naelod - the mysterious Dwarven
kingdom, lying to the north-west from the Erandin in the
high mountains of Thal An Kar. In the beginning of our
quest we moved quickly, oftenly met dwarven merchants,
rogues, and city guards patrolling the areas belonging to
to the city...The farther we moved the lesser wonderers we
met, the road narrowed and narrowed gradually until became
just a path leading through the forest of Tan Gor. That
made us slow down our movement as the forest contained
possible danger...well, the forest had been left behind
without any troubles and we entered Aldo Kar, the hills
area which lied before the Tal An Kar...on the first day
of our being in Aldo Kar we saw a dragon hovering in the
dark rainy sky. That was strange contrast to see the golden
body of the dragon in the grim dark blue body of the sky
ocean...was it a sign of the danger or might be on the
contrary, it was a sign giving us hope to succeed our quest.
Who knew? Not we...with halted breath and wide-open eyes we
gazed on the dragon enchanted with the beauty and might
which the dragon embodied itself...
