I will reward you with the mantle and the deathless power of the god whose blood stains your bold blade. For this chance I ask much. Gather at the navel of the known world and begin your hunt when the day is born.

“It’s not always the truth that survives, but the stories we wish to believe. The legends lie. They smooth over imperfections to tell a good tale, or to instruct us how we should behave, or to assign glory to victors and shame those who falter. Perhaps there were some in Sparta who embodied those myths. Perhaps.                            But how we are remembered is less important                                                           than what we do now.”

THERE IS NOTHING TO UNDERSTAND - a darker and eerie mix for the faes: for the marvels, the wishes, the games, for the chaos & the rules, the blessings, the unseen, the cruelty, for stairs in the forest, vanished children, mysterious disappearances, miraculous reappearance, for the horrors & the beauty, for what is just outside of human understanding... “There is no understanding them, for there is nothing to understand - they are a random force in the universe.” (“Come away, O human child! To the waters and the wild, With a faery, hand in hand, For the world’s more full of weeping than you can understand.”) [+playmoss] ‡ [cover art: Liis Perman]

Baba Yaga, in Slavic folklore, is a supernatural being (or one of a trio of sisters of the same name) who appears as a ferocious-looking woman. Baba Yaga flies around in a mortar, wields a pestle, and dwells in the forest in a hut usually described as standing on chicken legs. Although she is mostly portrayed as a terrifying old crone, Baba Yaga may help those that encounter or seek her out. Her faithful servants are the White Horseman, the Red Horseman and the Black Horseman.

DARKNESS MOVES - a dark ambient  atmospheric mix for ominous places & the darkness slipping through the cracks, for the dread when something unearthly is waiting there ("it's not what you were looking for, but it waited for you there") [+playmoss]

Throughout history, fear was best kept buried, sealed, closed. But folklore has a way of keeping the door open wide, allowing stories to live and breathe, to creep inside and haunt us.  I’m Aaron Mahnke, and this is Lore.
