Just as a side note, "Hortator" means "Great War Leader" in Chimeri. "The Sharmat" is also analogous to "The Devil", so Sharmat can be translated to Devil.

I only now, after 17 years since the game first was released, realized that the drum beat is the Heart of Lorkhan, beating in the depths of the Red Mountain. I can't believe i'm saying this, but the song is on par with the original, and the vocals moved me to tears.

I honestly cannot believe this piece is real. That’s how good it is. When Skywind dropped that trailer earlier, I was pretty much in tears. I like to think I’m the most diehard Morrowind fan in a 1000 mile radius, as I’ve played the game pretty much daily since I was very young. Nerevar Rising has always been a very big comfort to me in dark times, as it reminds me of a lot of exceptionally fun times I’ve had with Morrowind. Needless to say, both the piece and Morrowind are very, very dear to my heart. I am ALWAYS skeptical of reworks/remasters of it, because nobody seems to know how to capture the feelings that Nerevar Rising invokes in me, and other fans. But- Fredrik, you’ve done it. Excuse my language, but you’ve fucking done it. I am BLOWN away by how simultaneously powerful, beautiful and calming this piece is. Every second of this is worth savoring. I expressed to you before on Merciful and Benevolent that you captured the feeling of Morrowind perfectly with that piece, but you have outdone yourself here. You and the vocalists. I cannot express to you enough how much this piece means to me, and how wonderful of a job you’ve done. Thank you SO much for this, all your other works, and your contributions to Skywind. I think your soundtrack will make the game for me. Many, many blessings to you, sera.

@@BroadwayRonMexico Correct. The Temple actually chose to speak against the Nerevarine prophecies in a feeble attempt to help the Tribunal keep their power, but when they betrayed Nerevar and Dagoth Ur to use the Heart of Lorkhan to become Gods, they set in motion events that couldn't be reversed, one of those was the return of Indoril Nerevar's incarnation to destroy the Tribunal and defeating the corrupted Dagoth Ur to restore peace to Morrowind.

You also made me fire up Reason again to Start composing for myself. Didn't realise how much I missed that.

It'd almost be a very good publicity move for Bethesda if they allowed these mod remakes of Morrowind and Oblivion to be sold. Granted, they're still a fairly bad company right now but that there would be a step in the right direction to get themselves back in the good light with their customers.

Cursed and Forbidden. Bound by Nocturnal's Shackles.* Ritual 2:55 - 3:20 *A sacred ritual must be done. As they approach the Nerevarine they call fourth the past incarnates and fellow worshippers to pray and chant thru ritual in good faith.* Climax 3:21 - 4:20 *As the spirits and followers answer the call, they surround The Nerevarine in efforts to free him* Last Verse 4:20 - 4:30 *As the ritual ends, the Nerevarine, once ashened and shackled; now cleansed and free* *Lowers to the ground . . stands tall and glowing in gold. Opens his eyes . . .* "My turn."

Moments I would love for this to play(especially the ending music) 1. Entering the Cave of the Incarnate, when all the Failed Incarnates start singing as Azura gives you Moon and Star 2. You exit Red Mountain after defeating Dagoth Ur, as the Ghostfence is deactivated

[@scring713]

I think the second option is great. I just beat Morrowind tonight. Coming out of Red Mountain after killing Dagoth Ur and seeing the skies bright and blue was touching. I had the sudden idea to play this, so I put it on in the background while I used my last Icarian Flight scroll to jump back down to Ghostgate. It was very pleasant and climactic and I had a smile on my face the whole time. This is definitely an "end credits" kinda song.
