Heyo!
The very much awaited ''Nerath's theme'' is FINALLY HERE!
Making that track was a rollercoaster as many, MANY things happened in both my side and Koa's side. However, as I will always say: HEALTH is the most important thing to everyone!
And I'd lie if I say that I wasn't bothered and pressured with the billions of ''when's Nerath's theme?'' coming to me. But, anyway, here it is, here's the theme of the other Goddess of INFINITE ECLIPSE!
Big thanks to Koa for her amazing lyrics and vocals! She did an outstanding job, imo, so I hope you'll like this song!
''Nerath, Goddess of Nightmares, is the sister and nemesis of Aqasha.
She's a horrifying divinity and calamity, darker than a moonless night and more terrifying than the worst nightmare one could ever have. Her power is based on ice, illusion, paranoia and any kind of mind manipulation.
Like her sister, we can't see any form of emotion on her face, her piercing and cold gaze inflicting an unspeakable fear to those who cross it.
Her dark blue fur is covered by crystals of shades varying from purple to royal blue. Some directly attached to her body, some floating around her.
Her crystal wings were impressive, giving off a kind of whitish aura because of the extremely low temperature coming off of those.
Her tail and mane were pure black, looking like some sort of smoke with some sort of purple-blue shades quite dark, with some infinitely small shards of crystals inside it.
Her slightly dislocated horn was crystalline.
Everything she touches with her hooves is covered with dark blue crystal. Two small fangs stick out of her mouth.
Nerath is the embodiment of nightmare and terror, which sows madness and fear. She is inevitable.''
Koa sings as Naegissa, the High-priestess of Nerath, chanting about her goddess who finally awoken and ready to conquer the entire world and beyond.
Nightmares, terrors, whispers and crystallized lands are the only things she leave behind her when anything crosses her path.
Her mouth is Nerath’s words and her actions are Nerath’s will - she's at the head of the Crystallized.
While Aqasha and the Molten are more focused on power and destruction, the vibe of Nerath and the Crystallized is more about horror, whisper and madness.
I tried to detail a bit more the lore and put more in context who are the two Goddesses, to describe what kind of being they are and - more importantly - to describe how dangerous and powerful they are.
As always, if you have any question regarding INFINITE ECLIPSE, feel free to ask in the comment (but check the Q&A file first - I won't answer if it already have been answered there! ;))

Lyrics by Koa:
Inevitable,
The conquer of our God formidable
Mare of crystal come,
Command us but with just a whisper,
And it shall be done
Rise, her crystal army, rise
Feel her power bringing us to life
Rise, her crystal army, rise
Until her kingdom cometh, may we fight, fight
Crystal goddess of the night, may we be
Vessels, bringing forth your might and victory
Maddening, her voice, how it rings, oh
Crystal empress, we will be your tempest
Hear her whispered call
And into her madness you shall fall
Feel her icy chill
Soon you’ll find that you have no choice,
But to do her will
Rise, her crystal army, rise
Give in to the darkness in your minds
Rise, her crystal army, rise
For shadow and for empire, they will die, die
Crystal goddess of the night, may we be
Vessels, bringing forth your might and victory
For the Queen, our voices ring, oh
Crystal goddess, we will forge your fortress
Now...
Now...
Bow down...

[@gabrielabatista6016]

Yeah, Aqasha's song sounds more like a display of raw power, made to intimidate who hears it into submission, it sounds strong, like it brings forth your most animalistic reactions. Nerath's, on the other hand, sounds like it's suppose to induce fear and inflict madness into whoever hears it, making the person give in to the dark madness and submit to her will, it sounds cold, calculated, like she's playing with your mind. I'm maybe overanalyzing too much, but that's legit how it sounds to me.

“To think her darkness seethes so strongly, that it all condenses into such breathtaking terrifying crystal. To face such a force that creates your worst nightmares into waking reality, monsters composed of unyielding darkness made tangible. I fear even the light of her sister wouldn’t pierce the darkness that is her shroud should she grow angrier than she is now. Yes, looks can be deceiving, don’t let that calm cold stare fool you...unless you want that unending consuming void to be your grave.” Words of a champion of light made crestfallen after attempting to defy Nerath.

_rapidly Googles how to join Nerath's crystal army_

[@Dreamheart101]

I don't know, the entire thing sounds similar to depression, which would be a pretty effective nightmare. I don't think the nightmare the song speaks about is being turned to crystal...no, it's an eternal nightmare by the mind. But if that's really what you want, that answer might help Seriously, though, I love this song. If I had to choose between Nerath or her sister, I'd choose Nerath as well. (Don't Google how to be depressed though 😅)

[@ShineFeline]

@@Dreamheart101 Too late, already chronically depressed. But I sure as hell wanna enjoy the kickass scenery of pinks and blues, night skies, and northern lights. Plus the calmness combined with talk of madness gives me more a sense being mind-broken with terror and agony until you have no choice but to feel comfort in being loyal to Nerath. Also it doesn't sound like the crystal army are actual ponies, but soldiers formed from crystals, meaning they inflict fear rather than are victims of it.

[@Dreamheart101]

@@ShineFeline - Interesting theory, and RIP the depression, but I believe the ponies were crystalized. "As their influence spread, some began to burn, and others were crystallized where they stood - they were being corrupted in both body and soul" - This line is from Jyc Row's comment on this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/g4XLmoxsoJqbn6c THere's also another line, "All who fell during the battle have been revived, either to become crystalized or molten, blindly following their new leaders" - This if from Jyc Row's comment on this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ranWnGB6h8iUmbs So I believe that Nerath is indeed crystalizing ponies.

“For shadow and for empire they will die” THAT SENT CHILLS DOWN MY SPINE Koa did an AWESOME job with the lyrics and with the instrumental created by Jyc, I’d go as far as to say this is his best infinite eclipse song!

The song perfectly depicts how I would imagine the Goddess of Nightmares to be: simple but elegant while being terrifyingly beautiful at the same time. And with the combination of Jyc's musical score in addition to Koa's stellar voice and lyrical composition, this song is easily one of the catchiest and probably one of the best songs Jyc had made as of now.

This theme sounds amazing again! It was 100% worth the wait! I love how it really feels like they're in your head. While Aqasha feels like she is standing in front of you just blazing fire, here Nerath feels like she's so close without being able to pinpoint her and you're hearing her in your head. Both themes fit their goddesses so well and you can feel how equally powerful yet different they are. Honestly, you outdid yourself again! This is another masterpiece, amazing job!

[@shadowhawkrine1947]

That's a really good point, I noticed it too!

[@evanhunt1863]

ALLIED COMMAND THREAT ASSESSMENT. DISSEMiNATION: OFFICER LEVEL 5 AND ABOVE Entity: Nerath (tentative). Designation: THREAT ENTITY 02. Threat Level: Extreme. Nerath is the name used in reference to the entity that Princess Luna/Nightmare Moon became after undergoing a Type-1 Transfiguration/Apotheosis Event, following her defeat by the recently-created Allied Forces. Her T-1 TAE occurred at the same time as her sister's, forcing Allied Command to declare Case MELCHIOR and enact Project HOPE. There are few - if any - confirmed instances of Nerath/Threat Entity 02 speaking. It seems that like her sister, she has a priestess to talk for her; in this case, Naegissa (information on whom is still being compiled). In another similarity to Threat Entity 01, when TE 02 appeared, all ponies who had previously fought for Princess Luna or Nightmare Moon on that particular battlefield experienced Type-2 Physical/Metaphysical Transfiguration/Reanimation Events. Whereas Aqasha's PMTRE subordinate entities are called "the Molten," Nerath's minions are referred to as "the Crystalized." Despite their similarities, the two demons have shown nothing but animosity and hatred for each other, and when they are not trying to murder every non-converted being in the area, they are fighting each other. All attempts to kill Nerath with close-combat weapons, infantry-scale projectile weapons, magically-enhanced weaponry, spell attacks, artillery fire, or magical artillery fire have met with failure. Very few ponies who met her in battle are alive- and even fewer are sane.

[@evanhunt1863]

Part 2: Nerath's observed powers are evidently based around the principles of ice, crystallization, illusions, and mental manipulations. Allied Command (ALCOM) forces in her vicinity will jump at shadows, attacking imaginary enemies or turning on each other. Often, the first sign of Nerath's direct presence is the whispering in one's head. The Crystallized take after their leader (creator?), driving their enemies to madness before killing them, though they can also reconfigure their gem-like bodies, fashioning weapon morphs out of their crystalline physiologies. Those who make eye contact with Nerath feel a deeply-rooted, indescribable terror upon doing so. Emotional and psychological breakdowns often follow. Nerath's wings and horn are covered with crystals whose color ranges from royal blue to a reddish purple. A group of these crystals also encircles her neck. Her body temperature is significantly lower than that of her surrounding environment, causing her to be surrounded by a whitish aura of condensing and freezing ice. Dark blue crystals rapidly cover anything that her hooves touch, spreading out like a fungal mat. Nerath and her subordinate entities are believed to be responsible for at least 22,000 fatalities, with thousands more currently hospitalized for mental and physical damage inflicted by the aforementioned. Many, it seems, will likely never recover. Veterans of combat with Threat Entity 02's forces report a feeling that Nerath's victory is inevitable, that nothing can stop her. She leaves madness and death in her wake. They don't know if those thoughts are their own, or if Nerath whispered them into their heads...

[@evanhunt1863]

Addendum: Following the conclusion of Project HOPE, Nerath, Naegissa, and the Crystalized were last seen engaging Aqasha, Ayzat, the Motlen, Discord, and Sombra. All contact with them was lost once the shield was raised. Their current status is unknown, but mages have detected something attacking the shield from inside. Countermeasures are being prepared.

Once again absolutely amazing! While Aquasha's song gave off a feeling of absolute power and destruction, fast and moving, unstopping, like lava flowing and consuming all in its way. Nerath's song starts with this feeling of a bad omen, a bad feeling creeping up your back, slowly driving one into paranoia and then when one is wrapped into this paranoia and madness one finally sees the cause of this bad feeling this fear and one can't run, frozen, no crystalized in horror and the only thing one can do in the end is bow to her power. Absolutely amazing!

[@creepyfuzzymelon]

A single soul flees through the wintry fog that envelopes their town. Running from the horde of nightmarish beings that sprung from the earth, bodies made of crystal bone that shone in the glow of the northern lights above. The soul weaved and dodged from monster to horror that crosses their path. Until at last they stilled to a startling halt. Hooves of crystal stood in their vision, dread mirrored in every faucet. They could not move. Their mind overwhelm with a frozen fear. Their gaze rose up, slowly witnessing the being before them. Until finally their eyes met with another's. And the soul fell limp to the ground. Heart having torn from its own senseless beats. The last thing it witnessed were eyes devoid of emotion. Of any form of desire beyond to terrorize all living beings.

Nerath: All of my enemies shall fear only one Goddess! I am the only one that shall give you nightmares. Fear my cold, nightmarish darkest nights. Only crystals shall stab my enemies till death. Death will be their worst doomness. Naegissa: Go to sleep my fellow ponies. For she is one. You shall worship and bow to her majesty. For your sins.

[@tekkitbeasting604]

The power hidden behind a more calm tone is amazing! As always, great job!

[@JycRow]

Thank you! =D

[@ForeverWinterandHope]

YEESS! I've been waiting for this!! Finally! I love how Nerath is all calm and deadly. While her sis is like I'M GOING TO BURN DOWN THE WORLD!!!!!!!!! Nerath is like Yeah, I'm doing the same but on a calmer level, my sister is quite the drama queen. Love it! It's always the scariest villains that are the scariest! This sounds a lot like Night Queen and it's awesome! Well done!

Hail Nerath, her Nightmares forever!

[@henryfanforever1414]

HUZZAH! THE NIGHT MARE HATH BEEN DOUBLED!

[@daddyyahweh9328]

I feel like a good comparison is for Aqasha, you are told she is coming, wether you like it or not. But for Nerath, you beg for to come and rule over you.

[@dream_dancer6717]

True...

[@roukerasati9611]

Not even a minute in and instant goosebumps! Honestly, I love how even though "nightmares" itself wouldn't seem dangerous at first, fear and paranoia are very powerful weapons. Also I love her design! Absolutely beautiful.

[@MrSilencing]

As soon as the notification popped up about the upload I never clicked so fast. A pure masterpiece to listen to and I love the unique and almost horror style this song has.

[@henryfanforever1414]

I can totally see this song being in a horror game!

[@MrSilencing]

@@henryfanforever1414 Glad I’m not the only one to think that. But hearing the difference between this and Aqasha’s song it made a lot of sense.

Me too, it is so much fun to listen to since it feels very unique in the series!

[@delusionaldreamer8332]

@@JycRow How could we? At this point, I've listened to this song so much that I don't care what other songs there are, Koa is the voice of Nerath in my head. But seriously, she's amazing.

[@renalin6864]

tbh I think it'd be worse to piss off Nerath. Aqasha will kill you, most likely in a gruesome and painful way, but Nerath won't. She'll torture you until you're begging her to kill you, and even then she won't. You'll have an eternity of nightmares

[@moonshadow3324]

I BOW TO MY MIGHTY GODDESS OF THE NIGHT! I WILL DO AS THY COMMANDS!

[@DearMajere]

The lyrics fits perfectly with Koa's voice, it is awesome!

[@AB.Broome5947]

Holy crap, my mind has been blown away not only that but I got the chills from watching that. The way you did the approach of this song is also mind-blowing. With Aqasha you went to with fire and destruction while the melody was like an army marching to war but Nerath that is a whole new ballgame. With her, you did soul-piercing terror that had an icy edge to it with unimaginable nightmares waiting to happen while the melody is soft yet gentle but at the same time luring you in like a siren that gives you no choice but to obey her every command. Overall, I absolutely loved both of the goddesses songs and can’t to hear more of the Infinite Eclipse Trilogy. But holy crap that was good😊

[@JycRow]

Thanks! Though, it ain't really a trilogy ahah :p More like a series

[@Roguim]

Gorgeous song, I love the way both Aqasha's and Nerath's song show the power and the differences between them and their followers, Aqasha's burning, exploding and hot as burning blazes and Narath's calm, slow paced, meticulous chill and cold one a burning volcano other a Glacial winter. Fantastic Musics.

She reminds me of a goddess of the cosmos/space with her mane and tail, as well as her overall color scheme. What a beautiful design, and what a haunting song. It's actually very calming, too. I have taken to listening to it before I get ready to go to bed.

[@stormhaven6713]

You songs never fail to give me goosebumps! This was beautiful and god Koa did an amazing job! Nerath and Aqasha's songs have to be my favorites so far! Keep up the amazing work abd have a great day/night!

[@disneycouples1066]

Totally worth the extra time it took to finish. It really strikes home how different these two are listening to them back to back. Aquasha's starts off hard and rolls through. Neraths theme started so low I thought I was losing my hearing. But it just seems to keep getting louder throughout, frankly quite terrifying after reading the bio
