Skyrim-Inspired Orchestral Ambient Music - "North Morithria"
I made this track for Newground's Art Inspired Music contest. See the artwork it was inspired by here:

Description:
I was inspired to make a track by a recent adventure in my first DnD campaign, partially set in a northern territory of a land called Morithria. While playing, I had an image in my mind of what the terrain looks like, and I found this artwork that perfectly captures what I had in mind.
I imagine that the two characters in the art go on a long, arduous adventure together to retrieve a powerful ancient artefact rumored to be in the northern land. Along the way, they discover beautiful sites and make friends, but they also face setbacks, uncertainty, and loss.
I aimed to mix the track in a way that reflects the art in terms of color, lighting, and distance.
I used 446.5 tuning to get more of a fantasy feeling.
