lyrics

The Wizard’s vale “had become a wilderness of weeds and thorns. Brambles trailed upon the ground, or clambering over bush and bank, made shaggy caves where small beasts housed”. (LOTR 3: VIII)

In habitats long impacted by environmentally destructive activities of Sauron they encountered “thickets and wastes of brambles”. (LOTR 4: VII)

When Frodo and Sam scrambled on the eastern slopes of the Ephel Duath they found themselves in a polluted and dying land. But it was not yet dead. In the valleys there were areas in which “low scrubby trees lurked and clung, coarse grey grass-tussocks fought with the stones, and withered mosses crawled on them; and everywhere great writhing, tangled brambles sprawled” and the two remaining members of the quest certainly experienced their “hooked barbs that rent like knives” (LOTR 6: II)

Valaquenta II
by Frostgard

Frostgard might be the most accurate rendition of what I feel when reading The Silmarillion or Tolkien in general. Beautiful, soft, soothing and noble. Ithildin

Melaleuca
by Woods Of Sith Cala

I must admit I'm kinda jealous of musician that can carry so much feeling while being so quiet, calm and minimalist. This is great music and you should take a break of life and carefully listen to it Ithildin

I met Fogweaver through Vedurnan and, later, Magelight. This more energetic take on their music is wonderful and exciting, a compelling twist bearing their unique signature. emanuele127
