Dawnshard Playlist
A journey from the close, tactile care between Rysn and Chiri-Chiri to the dangers and revelations of Aimia, this instrumental playlist pairs intimate piano and strings with measured, exploratory soundscapes. Its shifting currents evoke Rysn’s hard-won agency, the expedition’s uneasy alliances, and the awe and peril surrounding the Dawnshard and the island’s hidden history.
