"Life is chaos, change, filth and suffering. Death is peace, order, everlasting beauty."

[xservintage]

0:00-0:54 Someone discovers a dusty tome with arcane language, reads it and learns of the powers to bring back the dead.

0:54-1:27 That person tries out some of the enchantments and is marvelled by them.

1:27-1:50 Someone found it out and now the necromancer is pursued as a heretic.

1:50-2:08 He uses his powers to defend himself, as people watch shocked.

2:08-3:04 The necromancer finds out he's not alone; dozens of people want to join him in his cult of eternity. The world of Necropolis is born.

The song is too comedic, its like a circus.

I really love the last part, really showing the true reality of necromancy between death and revival !

[Aivottaja]

This is..different. Not as grim and sinister sounding as the previous themes. Maybe a little too cheerful at times, but I do like that the music doesn't force-feed the notion of necromancy being simply evil.

[silverjonquil]

hmm... but i do find this tune depicts the beauty of death... which is eerily haunting

@tYlK0o1sO1kG0vN7a1I1 There, you are right. Although I can see what they were trying to do with this song. When I hear it I imagine the beauty of the massive Necropolis cities, but I can see how many wouldn't. Honestly, they had a different song that would have been perfect. I have no idea why they didn't use the song in their soundtrack "Ghosts of the Past"

[tYlK0o1sO1kG0vN7a1I1]

@NnoitoraSchiffer The worst problem is that the very song is infused with a particularly different kind of calm beauty. It is more like the admiration of the magnificence and beauty of life, rather then "serenity of death". It inspires visions of a beautiful, grassy landscape, not the necropolis tombs. It is happy, with a note of bright sorrow in it. The very essence of life in death implies the feeling of darker sorrow, a final refuge from the passions of life, and the longing for the lost.

@tYlK0o1sO1kG0vN7a1I1 You are right, she should be. I was not proud of who the Necropolis hero was, but for the grand storyline it made sense. She didn't choose to join the Necromancers, so it was clear her philosophy and mind set was different. In fact, most of the main Necromancer heroes weren't the way they should be, but some are. They have to make characters interesting and relate able, although I believe they should be of one mind and purpose. That is true order.
