# Bladefall audio sources

## The Bladefall score

Twenty-one original compositions generated by the project owner with ElevenLabs
Music (v2.5), 2026-09-19, from the prompts in
`docs/music/ELEVENLABS-SCORE-PROMPTS.md`. One exploration cue per region, and a
boss cue for each boss:

| Stage | Exploration | Boss |
| --- | --- | --- |
| The Outskirts | “Midnight Field” | — |
| Black Woods | “Watchful Greenwood” | — |
| Broken Causeway | “The Iron Causeway” | “Iron Juggernaut” (the Brute) |
| The Updrafts | “Canyon Updrafts” | — |
| Hollow Marksman | “Crosshairs over Open Ground” | “Crosshairs in the Dark” |
| Ruined Keep | “Stony Whispers of the Keep” | — |
| The Warden | “Iron Gavel Descent” | “Sentence of the Shield Warden” |
| Frostfell | “Hearthfire in the Frost” | — |
| Frost Sorcerer | “Glaciated Court of Glass” | “The Sorcerer’s Hall of Mirrors” |
| Emberdeep | “Embers of the Weary Forge” | — |
| Ember Colossus | “The Obsidian Foundry” | “Forge of the Molten Colossus” |
| The Inversion | “Chamber of Inverted Gravity” | — |
| The Void Tyrant | “Paradox Void Assault” | “Iron Oath of the Night Attack” |
| The Abyss King | “The Black Procession” | “A Crown of Ashes” |
| The Deep Line (secret) | “Chasing Daylight on Broken Rails” | — |

Frostfell has a second cue: once the Muster Engine answers, “Hearthfire in the Frost”
gives way to **“Engine of the Frozen Garrison.”**

- Runtime files: `music/<kebab-case title>.mp3` (for example `music/midnight-field.mp3`).
- One deliberate reuse: the Right Hand, the second boss of the Abyss King's region,
  brings back “Iron Oath of the Night Attack” from the Void Tyrant rather than a
  track of his own, because recognising him is the encounter.
- Every campaign cue is now part of this score. `music.mp3` survives only as the
  fallback for the cut Gilded Vault slot, which is never entered.
- Prepared for the game from the downloaded MP3s: digital silence trimmed from
  head and tail, loudness matched (exploration −21 LUFS, boss −18 LUFS), re-encoded
  at 192 kbps. Keep the original downloads with the project records.
- Usage rights follow the owner's ElevenLabs plan terms at the time of generation;
  preserve that record with the project.

## Act Two: the Aerth score

Act Two uses the owner's **Aerth** score (generated 2026-09-20 for the 3D Bladefall, prompts
in `docs/music/AERTH-SCORE-PROMPTS.md`), with the owner's permission (2026-09-23). Its warmer,
folk-coloured palette is deliberate: out of the underworld, the light changes.

| Stage | Exploration | Boss | Event |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Thunder Cliffs | “Navigating the Red Wake” (the crossing) | “Chains of the Deep” (the Chained Hydra) | “Unburdening the Colossus” — plays once, when the last lock breaks |
| The Landing Shores | “The Shore of Broken Ships” | “The Last Spark of Darrow” (while the Sunguard's bell rings) | “Safe Harbor” — once, at landfall; “The Breaking of the Keeps” — once, when the bell is silenced |
| The Colony | “The Waystation Refuge” | “The Last Spark of Darrow” (a bell fight) | “Village Vigil” — once the colony has turned |
| The Path to the Palace | “Towering Sea Cliffs” | “The Last Spark of Darrow” (the Sun Gate) | — |
| Sunspire Palace | “White Marble Palace above the Clouds” | “The Fallen Champion Duel” (the King in Daylight) | “Chains of the Deep” — the hydra comes up out of the sea; “Passing the Flame” — the ride that ends Act Two |
| The Fractured Outskirts (Act Three) | “Through the Void Breach” | “Crystalline Trials” (the Mile Sentinel) | — |
| The Fractured Woods (Act Three) | “Hall of the Violet Discipline” | “The Archive of Violet Portals” (the C-side) | — |
| The Fractured Updrafts (Act Three) | “Canyon Updrafts (fractured)” | “Archives of the Archmage” (the C-side) | — |
| The Fractured Marksman (Act Three) | “Crosshairs over Open Ground (fractured)” | “The Wayfarer’s Hearth” (the C-side) | — |

| The Fractured King (Act Three) | “The Black Procession (fractured)” | “A Crown of Ashes (fractured)” (the C-side) | — |
| The Fractured Line (Act Three) | “Chasing Daylight on Broken Rails (fractured)” | “ClockWork (fractured)” (the C-side) | — |
| Fractured Cliffs (Act Three) | “Navigating the Red Wake (fractured)” | “Chains of the Deep (fractured)” (the C-side) | — |
| Fractured Shores (Act Three) | “The Shore of Broken Ships (fractured)” | “The Last Spark of Darrow (fractured)” (the C-side) | — |
| The Fractured Colony (Act Three) | “The Waystation Refuge (fractured)” | “Village Vigil (fractured)” (the C-side) | — |
| The Fractured Path (Act Three) | “Towering Sea Cliffs (fractured)” | “Element (fractured)” (the C-side) | — |
| Fractured Palace (Act Three) | “White Marble Palace above the Clouds (fractured)” | “The Fallen Champion (fractured)” (the C-side) | — |

- Source downloads: `~/Downloads/songs (2)/` (19 takes). Prepared the same way as the
  Bladefall score, to the Aerth doc's own targets: the crossing and the boss at −18 LUFS,
  the release cue at −21 LUFS, true peak under −1 dBTP, 192 kbps MP3 (measured after:
  −18.25, −18.26, −21.37 LUFS).
- Landing Shores (2026-09-23), same two-pass loudnorm: the shore and the landfall at −21, the
  bell fights and their stopping (the Aerth doc's 11C pair) at −18 (measured after: −21.26,
  −21.33, −18.26, −18.26 LUFS). The Colony and the Path (2026-09-24), the same way at −21: −21.26,
  −21.26, −21.63 LUFS.

## Retired from the score

The tracks below scored Bladefall before 2026-09-19. The game no longer plays
them and the deploy no longer ships them. The files stay in `public/audio/music/`
so the earlier score can be restored.
