This mod replaces the in-game music for all the areas within The Black Shroud/Gridania region, offering a fresh, new and immersive take while preserving the spirit of FFXIV’s world. I've always been inspired by the serene yet mysterious nature of The Shroud, and wanted to try to capture that feeling in my own music. With this mod, I hope to do just that. UPDATE: East, North and Central Shroud exploration themes have been added.
✨ Current Coverage:
Central Shroud
East Shroud
North Shroud
South Shroud
The Lost City of Amdapor
Amdapor Keep
Future updates will expand to more areas and refine the looping mechanics for a seamless in-game experience. Thank you for supporting this project—I hope you enjoy my new take on these in-game themes!
Currently, this mod includes The Lost City of Amdapor and The Black Shroud themes. However, additional tracks are available on my Patreon and Ko-fi, where I'm still finalizing some details. In the coming weeks, I'll be adding several new themes, including a Gridania city theme and a Thousand Maws of Toto-Rak theme, exclusively over there.

Thank you for supporting this project! It means the world to me!
