"While playing in a multitude of roleplaying settings, from Planescape, Ravenloft to Forgotten Realms and Dark Sun I always responded to the idea of fallen empires with excitement. There is something about the passage of time, and the exploration of the past that is fascinating. To uncover relics forgotten, to awaken slumbering gods, or loot golden coins with stamps in undecipherable languages. I created this mix with fallen empires in mind, join me in it's twists and turns and let the atmosphere coat your sensory organs for a little while, perhaps in your minds eye they will reveal themselves - Simon/Atrium Carceri"

I love how Photoshop magic can turn the Belem Tower in sunny Lisbon into a creepy Gothic castle. Great music!

[@artybluegirl]

Yeah I was gonna ask why is Torre de Belém there?

[@ericspencer8093]

I don't find this particular castle "Gothic," at all. It doesn't suit the music or the mood.

[@artybluegirl]

@@ericspencer8093 Torre de Belém isn't a stereotypical gothic style nor is it a castle at all. It's a tower, actually, and is a Portuguese specific kind of late gothic, why it won't look "gothic" to you like you might find throughout Europe. The tower finished in the late 1500's was a fort and a prison first, but also a place by which ships were set to sail downriver and to the sea heading for the 'New World'.

[@paulgibbon5991]

After my neighbour died, we looked after his house until his family (who lived some distance away) could make arrangements. One night, I went in to draw the curtains and turn the lights off...and when that was done, I just stayed there in silence, listening. I lasted about ten minutes before I spooked myself out too much and had to rush for the light switch.

[@sametiskpnar8594]

That sound scared the shit out of me lol

[@addiefellhoelter4246]

I am a transcriptionist and I love typing with this in the background! The shriek at 31:50 scared me and had me giggling in my office chair; more wide awake than anyone else in the room!

why tho, lmao, its the least gothic castle. Hell, its Manuelin in terms of construction and not really that spooky. They should have gone with the Mafra Convent, that place is straight up haunted tho.

[@kafkahead4445]

Like yeah, with the editing they did to the background, it looks like a tower in a Castlevania castle but its like, if you're a native, you fucking know its basically a glorified museum by the seashore.

[@ricardoslhenriques]

What are those RPG titles in reference to exactly? Video games or some kind of D&D type game? They sound awesome. Curious because i'm building an IP/artbook in what seems like a similar setting to the one you described here, and to what is represented by the music/thumbnail.

Wow. The music suits the image and topic perfectly! If I close my eyes, that's what I sense: time that passed, hallways, old castle, old interior made out of stone, cold and spider webs 🕸🕷⏳🌑

That castle looks like Lost Bastille from Dark Souls 2

[@vitorpadieira7916]

It's actually a real place located in Portugal! It's the tower of Belém in Lisbon!

[@lineriderrulz]

That was easily my favourite location from the early game if not the game as a whole. The moody atmosphere, the sprawling layout with secrets, shortcuts, illusory walls and places to explore all over the place was so fascinating compared to the more linear areas. The track Lost Here by ProtoU always reminds me of Dark Souls II as well for some reason, but that may just be that I was really into the game around the time that album released.

LOVE the 'Enmarta' at the 43:55 mark. It has wonderful echoes of the original Dark Shadows TV show I used to watch after school. The included subtle thunder only adds to the aura of Dark Shadows.

Oh great, the _Torre_ _de_ _Belém_ fort in Lisbon, Portugal!!! Sitting on the right bank of the Tagus river, it gets surrounded by water during high tide. Fact is, this is one of Portugal's first military buildings to be built no longer as a Medieval castle, but in the modern spirit of the Italian forts. It's shaped to resemble the bow of a ship, and it was gunned as so, covering the river from vessels arriving from the Atlantic. Iconic Portuguese masterpice, in a unique architecture style called _Manuelino_ , in honor of King D. Manuel I, and celebrating Portugal's zenith as an overseas Empire.
