Music of Mordalin
By: Nobody

This is the music played by the music box of Mordalin. It can be downloaded and comes in two mp3 versions: a repeatable version, and a non-repeatable version.

Excerpt from the music box description:

Driven to madness by his own ego, syphilis and personal failures, Mordalin fell to the basest of human follies; Chaos Worship. Under the tutelage of Futharius, the Clockwork-Master, Mordalin learnt the secrets of creation and the connection between music, speech and the Essence of Reality.

The music box is rumoured to have been his final creation, his last piece of work before insanity and Chaos claimed him at long last.

When someone opens the music box, the figurine of a lady clad in a black dress will begin to turn. Weird, slow music will play and slowly a thick fog will pour out of it. The music will not be stopped and the lid will not close until ten minutes have passed. Strange marshlights / wisps will float out of the box along with the fog and after a while the surroundings will appear like a dark dream world. The box acts like a beacon to all restless spirits and roaming dead.

The Arcane Chambers By: Ancient Gamer
Plots » Duty » Single-Storyline

Deep beneath the central tower laid the chambers of the Arcane. This is where the mages, witches and warlocks place those creations they deem to dangerous. The crystal bell Ã? Beloth Ã? was such a creation. Shortly after it was created by Magnus of Cormalth, it got into the hands of a cunning mercenary captain known as Harlan Marcus. Let’s shorten the tale and just say that the mages in the college valley did not like to have Harlan and his men roaming about the valley, helping themselves to the mages valuables. The bell rendered the college magic useless, and the mages locked themselves in, awaiting Harlan, armed with brooms, pottery and kitchen utensils.

The bell was later recovered, together with Harlan himself, and both were locked away in the chambers of the arcane.

One of the toys of the ruler of the lost realm, the music box of Mordalin gives great powers at an even greater cost.

I am honoured!

I linked the music to the item, and to a scenario I created, in which the item could possibly be found. (The item was originally created for that scenario)

For me, the link is broken. "Page not found."

Strange. I have asked Chaosmark to check it out. For me the links work fine.

Indeed, I have checked the links, and they work fine for me. I believe the problem, if any, is on your end.

It might be that you have blocked mp3's in your firewall or in your browser!

Very odd. I have tried it in both firefox and IE. No settings should block it. Oh well, I don't want to take up space on what seems to be a good post. I'll comment on it again if I can find a way to hear it!

For me, details like this really make or break a game. Well composed, haunting, very fitting for the source item. Well done.

Now that I've heard the music, I will be compelled to search for this Music Box for all time and eternity.

Maybe longer.

Whew - A big thankyou to Nobody for e-mailing me the music file. Inexplicably, the link also works for me now. Great stuff! This is a first for the Citadel as well - who knows, maybe in a year or two the Citadel will have a "Music" and "Artwork" section...

Just a thought - anyways, love the music, and it really fits with the quest as well. Cool idea, and good execution!

I was referring to actual art... not game inspired artworks. But artwork drawn for my game.

Respected Member of the Citadel
A secret MLM (pyramid) company that offers eternal life, but in fact it transfers the life forces of its members to those position "above". If you get high enough, (meaning you get enough new members) you start to enjoy the benefits. Maybe a willing sacrifice is much more effective for the transfer. But no one says, that a suddenly unwilling member, threatening to tell the authorities, may not loose it involuntarily... thus start people to vanish, and aged corpses are deposited somewhere safe.
