Istari by Frostgard & Arcana Liturgia

Olórin, the Maiar of Manwë and Varda, the Great Ones.
Aiwendil, the Maiar of Yavanna, Friend of Trees and Birds.
Curumo, the Great Maiar of Aulë, the Powerful Smith.
Morinehtar & Rómestámo, the Maiar of Oromë, Lord of Forests and Haunting.

The powers of the Elder Days are united in this album to recall the first steps of the Istari in the lands of Arda. Through this work, which I am proud to present together with the great and historical project Arcana Liturgia, we want to convey through dark and fantasy melodies of Dark Dungeon Music, the stories of some of the most powerful Maiar, those who were trusted by the Valar to carry out the most important quests throughout the ages, even when the world was still young.

Istari is an echo of the image of the wizards of Middle-earth as they first appeared in Professor J.R.R Tolkien's imagination, a tribute to Olórin, Aiwendil, Curumo, Morinehtar and Rómestámo, the archetypes of sorcery from one of the most inspiring magical worlds in history.

I am a Dark Elf. I have wandered through the forests of Beleriand without ever having seen the light of Valinor.

Frostgard is a Dungeon Synth project inspired by J.R.R Tolkien's books.
