about

A collection of tunes about a blind knight called simply as The Castellan, wandering all by himself in a cruel and unwelcoming world, that only tries to consume him due to his weakness.

He is bound to get past his blindness and live forward, protecting his own personality, his own thoughts and principles but also protecting those who are unable to stand up for themselves.

Nobody knows how he lost his sight.
Was it a spell, maybe a curse?
An accident?
Perhaps he was born that way...

His blindness for sure is not a feat, but it is the only thing that keeps The Castellan going forward, living, loving and protecting. It is the most necessary evil for the good to be born.

Unable to see the beauties of life, he must gamble with his own life for others to actually see them.

If nostalgia for an age where creatures of myth walked together with the children of men had a soundtrack, this album would be it. Also, a touching reminder that we can forego wealth and power for wilderness and freedom, if we so choose. emanuele127

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
