I was listening to the soundtrack of Silksong, while searching for music to use in my DnD campaign, and I became quite unsure of what emotions and feelings Shellwood is supposed to convey?
What emotions or story is Shellwood trying to tell? (not just in music)
To me, the music is quite mournful, and the area is seems somewhat dead, but what is the point?
I would also say: peaceful and relaxing music with a little similarity to Verdania. So a reminder to the green nature that existed before the citadel took everything over. A big contrast to the surrounding areas.
But even there wildlife doesn’t mean peaceful, there is still danger for the player and pilgrims in general.
