Episode 12 of The Witches of Wederra Keep will come out on Tuesday February 10! This is the music I go to for Lorelei's cave. I didn't write it, but I thought it was quite beautiful, so I used it in my piano practice. I'm very new with no formal training, but it's fun to play :)

:: They feel a shifting unease at the sight of the ruins; it is a barely tethered wreck of a building. If the world were to turn upside down, they would surely fall forever with nothing to catch them. :: And rain at your feet when the Heavens open. I don't like this... 🧿

Three round portraits in an art nouveau style of women with long hair, strong features and head ornamentation are ringed in ornamental frames of different colors across the middle of the image. The background is the ruins of a castle against dark clouds, a burst of sun coming through. Tall trees in the foreground and a flock of birds silhouetted against the sky create an ominous moody feeling. The image has a decorative art nouveau border in white with corner details of the line wrapping back in on itself in small knotwork patterns.

A table spread of the playing of Wickedness, the game behind The Witches of Wederra Keep. On the table are four places with notebooks full of notes and pencils. There are some cups of tea and bottles of water, books of fiction and art for reference. In the middle of the table are some maps and illustrations, and tarot cards from the game spread out. On top of everything are some studio headphones and a few microphones can be seen on stands poking into the picture. The arms of one player rest on the left side of the frame and the shirt of another player is visible.
