HEAR THE DRUMS OF WAR!

Add even more atmosphere to your HAEL campaigns with six evocative background-music tracks that capture the unique setting of HAEL - where the Daeorcs (descendants of the Orcs) and Yaena (children of the Gnolls) prepare for war after centuries of peace, spurred on by strange Alien beings with their own agendas.

Suitable for any fantasy gaming environment, but inspired by the rich world setting of HAEL, these six tracks provide a range of distinct moods for game play, adding extra flavor, while not being overpowering.

A Military Engagement: The drums of war are beating as the Daeorc armies of the Dominion march south towards the Empire. Mood:  Majestic. Proud. Magnificent. Preparation for war.  (7:20)

Cavern of the Soul:  The echoes of past battles, of bloodshed and pain and terror, millennia past, still reverberate in the depths of the Bloodpits. Deep in the earth, in the grave-cold darkness, restless spirits watch over their secrets and brood… a reckoning will come. Mood: Powerful. Tense. Clashing echoes in deep caverns. (3:43)

Chant for the Dry Bones:  In the wastelands, the untamed desert dwellers (Humans and Halflings) weave their strange powers of the mind. What aberrations are they planning? Why are the Yaena Warpacks sniffing the hot night air? Mood: Dessert heat. Prayer.  (2:25)

Danger in the Forest:  The untamed Human and Kirene Druids practice dark, bloody rituals in the moonlight as they prepare their brethren.  The turmoil presented by the arrival of the Strangers offers a long-awaited opportunity to wreck vengeance on their ancient enemies. Mood: Organic. Rhythmic. A post-modern call to prayer. (4:43)

Journey of the Warlord:  The Yaena Mistress of the Warpack looks over the battlefield... she sees the banners waiving the noon-day heat, troops and animals waiting in their resplendent war paints. At a simple wave of her hand and tone of her voice, a tidal wave of violence will be set in motion…  such a simple gesture. Just waiting on her. Mood: Battlefield. Primitive drums. (4:20)

Kirene Dreams: The Kirene are masters of the exotic martial arts, dangerous poisons, and blood magic.  Even though they sided with the pitiful humans in the Great Wars, they have not fallen into ruin, but rather grown stronger, and stranger. And their memories are long.. their intentions unclear. Mood: Asian. Martial arts training. Enigmatic.  (10:03)
