     What troll focused album would be complete without a medley of all the main themes on the album. In all seriousness, this song was directly inspired by songs like [[Rex Duodecim Angelus|rex duodecim anglus]] and [[Rex Duodecim Daemonia X (ReDuX)|rex duodecim daemonia]].
 
+    However, rather than focus on the fight with the black king, I wanted to focus on the doomed state of the session itself.

     I tried my best to convey a sense of sadness and grief as the trolls realize that everything they've been through was for naught. For the most part, I quoted motifs that premiered on this album.
 
-    Initially I was going to quote the initial 12 song from the album, but I quickly realized that would be too difficult. I also quoted both Beforus, as a little call back to UMSPAF's [[album:beforus]] album, and Theme (of [[album:alternia]]). The latter quote serve to highlight how the hope of winning the game now lies with the Alternian trolls.

     I really admire how Rainy was able to craft such a beautiful song out of all of the motifs he used (a lot), and i think i'll be listening to this quite a lot.
 
-    The Gentle Heat part is probably my favorite, the orchestral and electronic influences mixed in this song are also amazing and i love it.
