This playlist follows Fitz from a neglected royal bastard in the stables of Buckkeep to a reluctant assassin and Skill-bound protector of the Six Duchies. Instrumentals draw on medieval-tinged folk, brooding film scores and sparse ambient pieces for the keep, the sea, the Wit bond with Nighteyes and the shadow of Chade's tower. Vocal tracks use folk, indie and darker rock to carry loneliness, loyalty, secrecy and the cost of duty.
