Dusk in the quiet throne room
This quiet throne room of an old castle is a stone hall at winter dusk, and any browser plays it for free. A carved stone throne stands empty before you. On each side of the hall, a large iron brazier burns with a soft rush of flame.
Far above, air sighs through the rafters and the tall windows. Heavy banners lift and settle on the walls. High on a window ledge, a pair of doves coos softly in the fading light.
A guard in armour crosses the hall, slow and heavy, metal plates clinking with every step. The echo makes the room seem even larger, and you stand very still. Somewhere over the town, a bell tolls 3 times, and deep below an iron gate squeals open. The steps fade, and the hush returns.
For the fire alone, choose Braziers only. Without the guards keeps the flames, the banners, and the doves, but no footsteps.
What you hear in the empty throne room
- Braziers burning in the hall: A pair of large iron braziers burns on either side of the hall. Their flames rush softly and steadily and echo off the stone. Plays all the time.
- Air high in the rafters: A faint wind moves high in the roof beams and tall windows, a soft and distant sigh. Plays all the time.
- Guard pacing in armour: A guard in armour crosses the polished floor with slow, heavy steps, metal plates clinking each time. Plays at random moments, about 3 times every 10 minutes.
- Armoured steps across the hall: A lone guard walks far across the throne room. The steps and the soft rattle of armour echo and fade. Plays at random moments, about 3 times every 10 minutes.
- Banners stirring on the walls: Tall cloth banners on the stone walls lift and settle in a slow draught with a soft rustle. Plays at random moments, about 3 times every 10 minutes.
- Doves in the high windows: A pair of doves coos gently on a high window ledge. Plays at random moments, about 3 times every 10 minutes.
- Bell tower over the town: Far across the town, a tower bell tolls slowly 3 times and fades over the rooftops. Plays at random moments, about once every 10 minutes.
- Iron gate creaking: Somewhere far down a stone corridor, a rusty iron gate creaks open with a long squeal. Plays at random moments, about once every 10 minutes.
