Alienage Soundscapes

For City Elf Appreciation week (organized by @cityelfweek), I present here the main project I have been working on: a collection of a few Alienage soundscapes, featuring songs written by me and sung to melodies invented by me too. The surrounding soundscape are free sounds from pixabay. Making this has been a ton of fun, and I hope you enjoy it as much as I did making it. Cheers! ^^

(Below are the links to the posts with each soundscape. They feature the soundscape itself, the lyrics, the audio of the song without the background noises, and a short introduction to the soundscape written in the style of in-game codex entries.)

Alienage Lullaby, performed by a mother

Andraste and Shartan (explicit and irreverent), performed by a teen

Marital Duo: A Performance

Mother, Let Your Kids Go Home, performed by a dockworker

The Rose on My Cheek (rated teens and up), performed by a tired scullery maid

Who Will Your Lover Be? A singing game performed by children

(ID: A screenshot of the opening sequence of the city elf origin from the game "Dragon Age: Origins". It shows three elven women walking away from the viewer, carrying flowers, towards a group of dancing and drinking elves. Overlayed over the image is the text "Alienage Soundscapes". End ID)

I love you, Zevran Arainai

Original post here.

I did consider October, however as we don't know exactly when Dragon Age: The Veilguard will be released outside of "autumn", I thought it would be best to avoid those months just in case they coincide. I know September is an autumn month, but I think it's unlikely to come out then? But maybe not!

Please let me know your thoughts :)

When the party asks why the Warden is recruiting Zevran

the fact that you start the Tabris origin by literally stepping into your mother's shoes. the fact that what you get is a wedding outfit and your mother's worn boots, kept carefully intact for years, tucked away for this exact moment. the fact that you then immediately take the path she never could, leaving behind the alienage and the wedding and following Duncan (who would have recruited Adaia first, if not for baby!Tabris) to what ought to have been death.

And Then!! instead of fighting and falling as she did, cheating death and becoming the fighter she always intended you to be instead??? Reliving and simultaneously subverting the story of her life??
