7.) Sunlight Knight
8.) The Last Crystal Bearer

“‘At the Heart of Wintervale‘ will be released on CD, Digibook, and Vinyl. The limited Digibook edition will also include three bonus tracks. The first is a song which many of our loyal knights may somewhat recognize; it is an acoustic blend of some of our older works, featuring an entrancing vocal performance and guitar work by our very own wood elf Aerendir. The second and third bonus tracks are orchestral versions of two songs from the album, where you will have the opportunity to experience a different soundscape, and perhaps discover new exciting elements and intricacies never discerned before” – the tracks are:

The Sapphire Dragon of Arcane Might is Back Again
Skyknights of Aldaria (orchestral version)
The Last Crystal Bearer (orchestral version)
