[@ArasKristoffDBUEN]

Ironic, The place filled with Literal Demons feels like HOME while a Heaven-like Paradise is something you aren't- no... something the Doomslayer isn't used to

[@SamuelTrademarked]

@@ArasKristoffDBUEN It probably feels so creepy because of the ambience but also the emptiness. Kenopsia is what makes this place feel so creepy. You're esssntially alone in what is nearly Paradise, with the exception of the Maykrs, who are hidden away. This place is supposed to be be bustling with people, with ships carrying cargo all throughout the skyways and people walking and talking in the various plazas seen everywhere, but instead it's complete silence. In Hell, it looks barren but there is life there, and you wouldn't expect stuff to be there. Hell also has no effective forms of communicating the fact that life exists (no roads, no skyways, no houses, just a couple citadels and lots of land)

[@Archon3960]

And then comes Jekkad, which looks like an actual Heaven (what's left of it anyway). If anything, Immora is a fusion between Urdak and Nekravol : grandiose, brimming with life, but clearly corrupted. x)

How can this be so relaxing but terrifying/horrifying at the same time? I swear Urdak is part of an H.P. Lovecraft story, no joke.

[@hoytrn77]

I was just thinking this would be great for a lovecraft story. It would fit the journey through the ancient city in At The Mountains of Madness perfectly!

[@dvdv7777]

@@hoytrn77 This could indeed be expanded into a Lovecraftian story that also connects the more traditional good vs evil dichotomy. Heaven with a benevolent God and angels and such being the result of gross oversimplification and also the outcome of deliberate manipulation by the Makyrs themselves. Turns out that "Heaven" is in no way good, and instead is an eldritch realm. This music is a great example. I imagine the angelic choirs that we know to be the oversimplified and manipulated version, and *this* choir to be the "real" version. It is fitting that this sounds nothing like a heavenly choir, and instead sounds creepy, inhuman, and ominous.

[@jaredeaves4543]

[@SteelTyrant527]

A holy priest, who, throughout life, had pledged the service of their mortality to their Patron God. She had followed the manuscripts to their letter, and was a renowned bishop and clergylady among the church. It was during a moment of service that she felt it. A shift in her boon. The glowing warmth that had been with her for as long as she could remember, had begun to extinguish. She knew not what this meant, and lamented in silent, private prayer that night, eager to find answer's to her new plight. In the weeks to pass, the priestess' power and connection to her holy patron continued to wane as her dreams of divine hymns soured and feigned into quiet cries and whispers of torment. Six dreams she had the over the course of three months. The last, she stood before her Patron's domain, a once holy and preadolescent hall of those who's service had been recognized for them to live eternal as angels among men. Before the ancient golden stair of this heaven, now greyed by the rain of light ash and burning embers, lie a battered, weeping angel, his wings torn, ripped, its feathers spread across the ground around him. When the priestess approached, mortified by what she saw, the angel looked to her, his now sunken and grey eyes, devoid of any light and power, still wet with the tears of his anguish, and plead for his savior, and found silence. The priestess lay the Angel to rest with a gentle kiss on the forehead as he was relieved of his wounds. Continuing on, the young priestess found herself before the gilded great hall, as well as a slaughter. Hundreds of divine beings lie dead in their white silken robes, stained with the blood of the virtuous. Lifeless corpses littering the dead heavens, the priestess wept as she continued on to reveal what else had befallen her faith.

[@torricoarksha833]

On the far reaches of this once beautiful and glistering paradise now turned to nothing more than dust and fire. Lay the one who caused all of this, its almost baffling how not one group if not an entire army of horrific beings have failed to rule this sacred holy land, and yet, he did it not a beast that will fortold their doom, not a demon with everlasting power. Just a mortal man. But he didn't want to rule it. All whom has praise these angels have not seen the full extent of the story, but he knows. He knows what they had done, he knows all of what happened, and he will bring justice to their actions, even if it means killing all of them.

This ambient is so hypnotizing, when you listen to it, you want to stay in Urdak longer, as if something alien, makes you think that the whole of Urdak was created somewhere very, very far away, and there is no way for ordinary mortals to go there, and by the presence of a portal to the earth there you can only guess where we are now, such a very specific vibe comes when you are not in battle, you just walk around and listen to this music, it is gorgeous, this feeling cannot be conveyed in words, but the combination of Urdak's location itself and his ambient is more than a chic combination

My favorite song on this OST

[@ImmortalChanger]

I've recently finished DOOM Eternal. I hate this song, but at the same time it's stuck in my head. A beautiful landscape, but this music is a creepy reminder of what's going on. It might be my favorite place due to how well-designed it is. Urdak is the only location that actually made me feel uneasy. I fought demons, yes, but the silence and loneliness that came after it was genuinely unsettling. Nekravol was disturbing, yes, but this is somehow worse.

[@serpentphoenix]

Urdak reminds me of Valyria but if it were still around. Valyria in the ASOIAF lore got really into soul and blood magic, it was hinted that this magic was a pinnacle of their power, along with dragons.

[@deceptivelysmallman]

maybe urdak is valyria, and the doom of valyria was just the doom slayer

Hey. I loved that you uploaded all the ambient music from the game. But there is one you missed and it's pretty rare.

urdak was created when the father stept on the univers for the first time and he created the angelic beings wich are immortals in the name of maykers so they can live in a beautiful place and guard it but when father left the urdak they lost their immortality and while they were trying to get it they discovered the jakad(hell's original name). But jakad was already corrupted and there was only 1 valuable thing left in their universe and it was argent energy an infinite power source. when the maykers found that out theh made a deal with hell. their grasping interest in the argent and immortality prepared their end. they and their universe was getting corrupted just like jakad, they were no longer angelic beings and their universe was no longer a place that can be called heaven.
