A low thrum rises in intensity before being joined by the panicked fluttering of a violin, deep drums, rising orchestral swells, the bellow of horns, and the call of mournful voices. The melody rises in a cacophonous swell of tension before releasing into a more subdued and menacing tone. The mood is chaotic, grand, and malicious, conjuring images of imposing cities carved into the rockface of massive caverns, molten iron surging through ancient forges, and spiked ziggurats emerging from the darkness.
