about

The chimes of the abbey beckon those who remain into its walls. Those who heed the call and devote to preservation and to worship are saved. Others are cast out into the storms and the darkness.
Torchlight guides the Disciples through the cloisters and into the vast catacombs where the scrolls were first placed all those years ago. Archaic rites and ceremonies are restored to the knowledge of men to sanctify the temple.
The manuscripts are reverently transcribed onto fresh pages. Their wisdom is saved from the brink of the precipice. The Archives become the home of this solitary diocese of devotees.
God has commanded the disciples to begin His great task. The Preservation must begin.
The righteous are surely blessed for their zealous fealty. Does God not also love his children? Salvation cometh through their sacrifice for near is the time when nothing will remain save for His work.

A fantastic, authentic sounding neo-medieval soundtrack. Excellent restraint with the instrument pallete, and that includes the most tasteful bagpipes I’ve ever heard. Dark age treasures not to be ignored. mahrgdidj
