Aggressive drums, a growling cello, and a grasping hurdy-gurdy are joined by the ominous chanting of deep voices, cautious flute, and encouraging lute. The melody builds in its sense of momentum and energy with each instrumental interlude. The mood is determined, mysterious, and primal with a sense of danger, conjuring images of pelt-clad warriors, hide tents adorned in bones, and the heroism of forest-folk defending their homes.
