Crom Laughs at Your Four Winds


Crom is not a benevolent god. Crom is a harsh, unforgiving god. He looks down upon the Earth from high upon his mountain, waiting to cast down judgment upon anyone whom he sees fit. You do not pray to Crom. In fact, you would do well not to draw his attention whatsoever. Should you do so, may it be with courage and tenacity, for then, and only then, may Crom smile upon you and invite you into his glorious Hall. But then, even should you make it this far, Crom will ask of you a question. A question to test your experiences upon the Earth that resides beneath Crom's mountain. Should you fail, Crom will laugh to you, and cast you to the winds below. What will he ask of you, you say?

  1. Yeah, so this is pretty much one of my favorite film scores ever. Oozes images of muscled warriors charging into battle on steeds and other awesome sword and sorcery fantasy stuffs.
