Chapter One: Across The Mountains of the Drämmarskol
We have arrived After passing the gate Through the forest of lies And the mountains of fate Come with me, to glory, to see what's ahead Our hardship, is over, we are here Look upon these lands Can you feel the glory of life? Look beyond those hills Can't you see our quest is done? Into the light! The sun is rising in the east Black smoke arises and we see The towers of Tordal The dome of the king Within these walls We'll bеar our fate Our ancestors' stories Our forеfathers' dreams We're here to live them Their guilt to redeem The sun is rising in the east The smoke is clearing and we see The clang of the bell Cuts through the air The sounds of the city Soon we'll be there Come with me, to glory, to see what's ahead Our hardship, is over, we are here Look upon these lands Can you feel the glory of life? Look beyond those hills Can't you see our quest is done? Into the light!

High up in the mountains, in the wayward Drämmarskol We left our horses, below in the squall We’ve heard the olden stories, the ancient fairy tales Of lanterns in the darkness, leading to dead end trails Night after night, day after day Our bones they weaken, the blackness frays The maps are long gone, the sun is far No signal in the sky, no morning star How much longer? Find the signs of the ancient tribe Unveil the way to the glory of Aztara The poets praise the beauty of this mythical crest The top of the world, where gods lay to rest This is the place, where our forefathers stood With sword and mace, until the earth shook Now they’re only legends, like we will be someday But to become a hero, you have more than dragons to slay But the hardest part, lies still ahead The Passage of the Lost is sure to dread The path is treacherous, the shadows play foul Through the air chimes an ear-splitting howl

On and on, through the night, mystic voices in the air Spectral steps without sight, as the trial is drawing near Into the dark, trembling with fear, now is the time to stand as one Crimson lights led us here, follow them, so said the seer Solid shapes, not just rocks, strangest figures, crescent tops The moon guides our way, up to the peak, towards the throne, where monarchs preach Kneel before the throne of the crescent lord Behold the frozen kingdom and lay down your swords We’ve reached the summit of Aztara And the world lies at our feet The sun comes up on the horizon Brings back the call we’re bound to heed On and on through the night, cursed it is, forsaken site Crescent lords, frozen kings, to hell with them and the curse they bring The fog disappears, the sun lights our way, our spirits return this newborn day

Come, follow me into the world of the night Into the forest, don't dare to look to your right It's been a long time since these spirits have wandered the fields So, remain on the path, don't wake them and keep up your shields There may be delusions that lure you into the dark Don't be fooled and never let down your guard And whatever you do, don't look into their eyes, come what may The void will consume you and there won't bе another day We’ve been warnеd of these wicked woods in our dreams So many wanderers before us didn’t know, so it seems The forest ahead is the place of the dead, so they say How can the trees grow without light of day? From time to time you can see a familiar face A brother, a lover, a phantom, a disgrace Invites you to follow, they know the right path, so they say If you give in to their lies you will end up just like them We stand before the gate, we’ve reached the end Will they tell stories of us or will we fail what impends? To open this spellbound gate, three mysteries to solve We can be victorious at last or we may dissolve We will enter the world of Valdura, we will live our dreams Just one last ordeal and freedom awaits You've come far but ahead lies your final trial If you solve the mystery, you'll be rid of all that is vile As truth is revealed and the spell is unsealed, you will see The power of faith will set your vigors free
