Eldritch Church | New Track and Battlemap by Cze and Peku
Added 2020-05-29 21:20:41 +0000 UTCIt's been a while since I've done a straightforward collaboration with Cze and Peku, and I think I really picked a great map to get paired with. This gorgeous battlemap is titled Eldritch Church, and I think it's absolutely stunning. The eerie rift is vague enough to represent any cosmic / interplanar horror you'd like, so get creative with it. They've got heaps more versions of this map on their Patreon (24 in total), so if you want a seabed, a hellgate, a celestial pool, an astral portal, or any other variation on this, head over to their patreon now!
My track "Realm of the Dead" was inspired by both this gorgeous map as well as Eberron's "Dolurrh," essentially the limbo-like plane of the afterlife. This was a request by patron sovest555 in the discord, and it came in just shy of first place in the May track request poll. I love RPG planes that aren't so cleanly divvied up by alignment, so a neutral sort of hopeless wasteland is very up my alley!
Obviously, this track is perfect for plane-hopping Eberron adventures, but it's also suitable for cultist lairs, forgotten catacombs, or maybe as a theme song for an enigmatic vile force. It's definitely great for dungeoneering, but don't discount it as an "ambient filler track." There are some nice motifs and emotive harmonies there that may resonate more and more on repeat listens.
I really enjoy the sort of vaguely alien instrumentation in this version, but if you want a more traditionally arranged track perfect for religious orders, I have a "Cathedral" version available to my Artist tier and up.
