Skeleton Mage - The Halls of Ever Summer
"The Halls of Ever Summer; the White City; the Last Home of the Elvenfolk; the Seat of the Queen, from whence the Kings of Old once ruled all the known lands and seas; the Fair Capital of the Fair Folk, which was built first and stands last. Such was the full epithet, translated into the common tongue, which the Elvenfolk used for their final remaining city.
Built of fair stone brought from beyond the sea, it sat upon the golden hills of the Reaches, at the southernmost edge of the Continent. What a magnificent sight it was for travelers on the southern road: its tall towers gleaming beneath the summer sun, and its many flags and banners fluttering in the briny wind.
There the last of the Old People passed their long days in merriment and song, and the crafting of spells and magical artefacts. Yet a darkness lived there, too. The Elvenfolk did not shy away from studying the darker things of the Earth, and many cultivated arts forbidden in the human kingdoms. Thus, the Halls were a place of shadow as much as light, just as the Fair Folk themselves were ever prone both to joy for the things that were, and melancholy for what had been and was no more."
- Skeleton Mage. From "On Elvenfolk".

Welcome, traveler, to the White City! A new Skeleton Mage album is now available on Bandcamp. This one takes on a slightly different, more melancholic sound to explore the Reaches, the Elven lands south of the human kingdoms.
I wish you a pleasant journey in the old country. Please, keep to the main areas of the city and do not, under any circumstance, wander into the shadowy undercrofts. As always, I'm happy to answer any questions you might have!
