about

Purchase of the full album includes hi-res artwork of the lore in a linocut style.

Lore:
Some say she was born of a peasant woman and a bear. Others say that she simply appeared on a night when the veil between worlds was thinnest and the fires of Rivermoor burned at their lowest. The few alive who really know her remember the quiet farm girl who first swung her sword in defense of their village during the Wanderings. The one thing everyone agrees on is that if you want a tough job finished properly, you hire Emmeline of the Hollow.

On a quiet summer morning, a missive arrives, an urgent plea seeking knights-errant for a dangerous quest beyond the Spine of the Titan mountains. A beast prowls the dense pine forests there, feeding on merchants and pilgrims heading for the druids' Yew Grove. A creature born of the darkest magic.

Emmeline takes the messenger's scroll, loads her sword and bow onto her horse, and heads to the nearest town of Penkerth for supplies. It's a long journey to the pinewood and food will be scarce as the wheel of the year turns from summer to autumn.

After crossing foggy moors, traversing frosted mountain passes, and fording frothing rivers, Emmeline finds herself face to face with a monster thought to only exist in fairy tales.

VI
by Fief

Neomedieval folk dungeon synth from an anonymous Salt Lake City composer and musician. There are no credits, but obviously, synths play a part in creating the imaginary worlds this artist conjures up. Plenty of plinkiness here, in a most delightful way, could be harp, harpsichord, or hammered dulcimer, or maybe all three. Let yourself be enchanted. Nickie Harte Kelly
