    Not bad. Now all we need is a setting for Bagpipes!

    Now this is something truly awesome.

    This makes up for that atrocious Crystal Sword design. Completely :)

    Many many years ago, when I first found the SCA, I was introduced to Iolo's music by a wonderful lady who had moved from Texas to Montana. She had a 'Favorite Songs of Ansteorra' tape, and on it was "Karelia’s Song." That song, and that tape, probably had as much to do with truly hooking me into the SCA from a cultural aspect, as anything else. I'm thrilled that so many people will have access to David's work!

    Most excellent. I close my eyes and am reminded both of the music from peaceful areas in Ultima VII and the music for the Shire from the Lord of the Rings movies. I hope we will be hearing more music from Iolo... er, David Watson in Shroud of the Avatar.

    'Have listened to David Watsons new tune a few more times, and find it absolutely brilliant. He is a master.

    Really nice tune, music is such an important part of my memories of UO, I still occasionally chuck on the log in screen mp3 just for feels, drags me right back to the begining of online gaming for me and the community I was a part of. Keep up the good work.

    So I've been listening to it quite often over the weekend but had the thought: it's really upbeat. When I think of the title of this game "Shroud of the Avatar" and its first episode "Forsaken Virtues", I don't immediately think upbeat. Perhaps this is more of an End Credits song, after the Avatar has been put through some crazy bad dark experiences with ups and downs during his story arc, only to survive triumphant in the end.

    Stones is (sorta) confirmed to be in the game, just not by the devs. As long as bards are given the ability to compose their own music, Stones will exist in many forms, and EA won't be able to do a damn thing about it.

    During the kickstarter Lord British did say that the music can be changed easily by the customer. SO you can add stones anywhere you want! :)

    I have to say the main tune reminds me of this Studio Ghibli music at various stages throughout the piece :)

    I'll be adding a ton of Blind Guardian if we can add music.
