"There are places where the elemental planes meet. Where the border is weak and the elements pour together. Where fire meets earth, there is destruction. But where water meets air, there is serenity."

Hey folks!

Today’s track is a collaboration with the incredible map-making duo Cze and Peku. I'm a huge fan of Cze and Peku's maps, and I'm sure you'll agree that this Kraken Airship Port map is staggeringly cool! Here's a little about them, in their own words:

We're Cze and Peku, a couple who love making maps. We specialize in fantasy maps for roleplaying games like DnD.

We like covering diverse themes and outlandish ideas you can't find elsewhere. Kobold breweries? Coral thrones? An Elder Brain lair? No matter the theme we'll create the best map for your epic adventure. Just ask and we'll add them to the weekly poll!

As well as the track and all its usual extras, my patreon supporters get access to the high quality download of this map in gridded and gridless variants. You can grab these in the Collab Content folder of the Download Archive (link below). Be sure to check out Cze and Peku's patreon here for some amazing variants of this map plus loads of other fantastic maps: https://www.patreon.com/czepeku

This track was an interesting one to write! It sits somewhere between calm and excited, between ambient and exploration. I used the high rhythmic strings to represent the element of air, and the deep drones and bowed waterharp to represent water. This track is the last in my Conversations and Negotiations series, written to be unobtrusive enough to fit into the background during these moments. A special thanks to everyone who helped me work through this track on livestream, it was a blast!
