This playlist moves between the realm’s ominous political machinery, the peril of the Call, and the grief and resolve driving Revel’s pursuit of vengeance. Its instrumental selections build tension without overwhelming attention, while the final three vocal tracks focus on power, betrayal, and the cost of surviving a deadly bargain.
