At the Heart of Wintervale consists of 8 captivating tales from far and wide, with a run-time of approximately 45 minutes. The songs are all stories and legends from the Twilight Kingdoms, gathered over years of meticulous research, further exploring and delving into the vast and magical world of its realms.
At the Heart of Wintervale is available on CD, Digibook, and Vinyl. The limited Digibook edition also includes three bonus tracks. The first is a song which many of TWILIGHT FORCE‘sloyal knights may somewhat recognise; it is an acoustic blend of some of the older works, featuring an entrancing vocal performance and guitar work by TWILIGHT FORCE‘s very own wood elf Aerendir. The second and third bonus tracks are orchestral versions of two songs from the album, giving fans the opportunity to experience a different soundscape, and perhaps discover exciting new elements and intricacies never discerned previously.
