A city powered by stolen hearts.
Original music by Martin Schroer / d20sounds. Thirteen tracks explore a city divided between a glittering upper city and an undercity of rust, resistance and surviving magic.
Follow Rena, a young gnome from the undercity, through a smoky midnight bar, forbidden love, a hidden labyrinth and an uprising. Listen as one continuous story, or bring individual atmospheres to your own campaign.

Bring the city to your table
- City life: streets, slums and encounters in a city shaped by machines and magic.
- Intrigue: secret meetings, divided loyalties and a privileged upper city with something to hide.
- Discovery: overgrown places, a hidden labyrinth and the mystery at the heart of the machine.
These are suggestions for your own sessions. The album’s story can inspire a setting without requiring you to follow it.
