New Ambience: Shadowfell (Patreon)

Greetings Patrons,

I've been meaning to do a Shadowfell ambience ever since The Feywild came out.  Apparently I got sidetracked. Thankfully, a few of you reminded me of this oversight recently.

I had to dig into the lore a bit to make sure I was starting off on the right track. This interview with Mike Mearls helped put it in perspective:

It is definitely an abstract, emotional type of ambience. I wanted it to be dark and chaotic but also rooted in a kind of physicality. By this I mean, you're not floating about in it. Many of the illustrations feature a barren rocky landscape with brooding clouds and even structures. I added a constant crumbling rock underscore as well as atmospheric discharges to accentuate this.  The below image from the 5e Dungeon Master's Guide illustrates this pretty well.

For those that prefer something a little more abstract I've included a version without the rocks/atmospheric discharge.

This track will of course work well with any dark themed game or story. It could be a dream sequence, a trip to the underworld or a Cthulhu-esque interlude. 

Thank you all, as always, for your continuing support.

Best,

Tim
