A focused instrumental journey from Stormside’s hardship toward Starside’s otherworldly splendor, with measured tension for the deadly quest and moments of spacious wonder for a realm shaped by magic. The mix of orchestral color, restrained piano, and atmospheric sound reflects Aris’s pursuit of vengeance without overwhelming concentration.
