Before the firmament breathed life into legend, man was alone, watching the skies. After the heavens returned man’s gaze, all were fearful, fleeing that which was long sought. Revelation, destruction, and rebirth – a cycle exposed in noble fashion, with light coloring the air in crimson-red hues. It was an unheard of omen bearing unknown consequences. As kingdoms rose, empires fell, and the gods were blamed. Such became normal on Atmos, where the line between reality and dreams had long been blurred.

This is the story of Atmos’s northern continent, just before a period of hardship. An unusual time of peace was preserved despite a bloody history, yet hidden forces rebel against it, vying for power during a critical time of change. As one boy would come to understand, few would be safe from what was to come.

In a new world, the center of mankind's greatest civilization holds an indispensable gift known as the Dream Engine. This machine holds the records of old in the form of visions that can be shared directly with anyone. All chronicled events can be viewed by anyone who wishes it, but a problem has occurred. The Dream Engine now forces these visions onto people, inserting fragments of antiquity into the dreams of many. Every bestowed experience then disappears from record as if it never existed. Panic ensues, as the valued history of man slips through the fingers of every dreamer in the vicinity. All are encouraged to document and submit what they witness, but the accounts are messy, and an even greater issue has emerged. Within the Dream Engine, there is evidence of sabotage.

First Album Remastered

Since the first album was created while I was essentially still learning how to not only create music, but edit it, I've been wanting to improve this album for a while. After about a month, I've expanded "Omen of the Ancient" to 29 tracks, with the addition of 18 new or rewritten tracks. All have had at least a small increase in quality, but the new tracks consist of numbers 5-14, 24, 26, 27, and 28. The goal was to add new tracks with direct pieces of the story, such as narration from the book, similar to the climactic songs of "The World of Whispering Strife". I found it best to introduce the growing conflict between Helskor and Rhinesvelt in the best manner possible, and I will be adding a few new songs to the second album as well to accomplish this. However, the main focus will be back to finishing the final album, which I've completed about a third of, though it will likely remain one of the shorter albums. I have also gone ahead and paid for a new online platform to distribute the music, as well as improve it further with new plugins. More info on that soon once I learn my way around...
