The Sleeping Sword, by Runecaster

The Sleeping Sword

by Runecaster

supported by

An Goblin After listening carefully I am left with a few questions: is the Runecaster a mage? An engineer? A traveller of both time and space from 1950s Wyoming? Or someone who just knows useful shit?

Who knows.

about

COSMIC003

Through the dimming mists of the Bitter Mountains a candle burns in a small, wooden cabin. Born in a time of peace, the Runecaster lives & works within a small community of traders, unable to grow many of their own crops in the cold and harsh environments of the far North. The Runecaster's knowledge of the sea, fishing and of mining rare metals, hewn from ancient rock, are essential to the prosperity of his people.

Rumours are spreading of the King's conspiracy to destroy & steal from the peaceful mountain folk and tensions increase as more black flag pirate ships are allowed to pass through from the Scarlet Kingdom to ruin & plunder their age-old trade routes.

The Runecaster sets off with a small party of 4 adventurers in an attempt to open dialogue & seek advice from the mysterious & isolated sea people located across the bleak Dyrne Pass, west of the mountains. It's here that the party learns of a hidden object of great archaeological interest which is said to be located on a small island past the Sword Shores.

A dreamy, beguiling, nostalgic dungeon synth quest through the shires. But, it's so much more than that. The LP incorporates some unique key changes, field recordings and a lot of Mort Garson style synth work. It sometimes reminds me of old 70's PG horror soundtracks. The record is addictive melancholy inspiration. The ideal music for accompanying the dawning morning of an epic adventure. brantly

My favorite out of the three I believe.The sound is more aggressive and fits the cover art of what looks like a perilous journey for the protagonist. Fits well at being the second in the trilogy of albums. Every song is good and the cassette tape and package is of good quality. A Great buy that deserves a vinyl edition. Joshua Laleina
