For the soundtrack, I envision two distinct themes: one for the dragon and the other for the protagonist, Yrel. Though initially unacquainted, there's a subtle connection between them that will unfold as the game progresses.
The journey commences in Yrel's hometown, where her Theme sets the tone. As she embarks on her quest, her path eventually leads her to the lair of the White Dragon, marked by the introduction of the Dragon's Theme.
As their bond deepens, they unite for a shared journey, prompting the merging of their themes for the Main Menu Track. This fusion, accentuated by a modulation, symbolizes their newfound alliance and mutual purpose.
Drawing inspiration from the image, which lean towards oriental motifs, the music adopts a coherent style (which you can often hear in the Game Over's motif). Oriental woodwinds, notably the Xiao, feature prominently, enriching the cultural resonance. Additionally, the choice of woodwinds reinforces the thematic motif of wind, echoing throughout the game's narrative.

wow, really great stuff! These are some really gorgeous compositions!
Thank you!
I think it's a very dramatic and well orchestrated orchestration.
Thanks!
Ah! Great work. This makes me want to collab with real instruments and vocals and your compositions.
Like, there are things I would add to flavor it, but it's not like I mean that as a critique - it's like I would love to do the dance of harmonizing my music with yours, adding some of my overtone flavors and folkloric textures, then get some live musicians on their instruments to play with.
Of course! Thanks a lot. You can add me on discord if you want so we can chat! :) My nick is maxxmeridius
Really great work! Very strong composition.
Thankss
this is soo good, I love the use of the motifs throughout the different tracks and MAN does that climax on the main theme hit
Thank you!!
The main theme was my favorite on. It was super majestic!
Thankss!
Nice work! I especially loved the use of the Xiao to convey the "wind" motif.
