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.

Third and Fourth Albums Complete

Arthur Hill

I've just finished mastering Omen of the Ancient, Volumes III and IV, a few days ago. I'm currently having some issues with the distributor, so I spent some time last night on updating the third album cover. While I still liked the old design, the new one is a bit more interesting and more relevant to the story as well. I also updated the title to "A Way Forward" instead of "A Changing Tide". Given that half of the album is from the perspective of the bard Cyfel (as well as some of the adventures of his pupil Nezbaerth), it made sense to show a representation of the World of Dreams in the album cover. If there is an ongoing problem with the normal distribution method, I may add the songs to this website first.

I have also been focusing on creating new artwork, both for the website and for my Redbubble account. This may take about a week to update fully, as there is a bit of a backlog of art I would like to use for merchandise.
