Blood of the Dragon (album)

Blood of the Dragon incorporates a music cd with an interactive puzzle. The music is mainly instrumental, with a Classical, symphonic, and at times tribal Celtic sound, and is interspersed with narrations and sound effects that relate a story. The overall theme is laden with elements popularized in sword and sorcery stories and games, such as wizards, warriors, dragons, elves, witches, dwarves and trolls. These fantasy archetypes are represented visually in the artwork that accompanies the disc but are also strongly suggested by the musical compositions.

Nox Arcana took their concepts of musical storytelling even further with Blood of the Dragon by incorporating an actual quest into their music and cd packaging. The booklet features artwork and puzzle designs by Joseph Vargo. The songs provide hints to set the listener/player upon their Quest. As with every Nox Arcana release, this cd too contains a hidden track.
