LORDS AND LIARS OF WATERDEEP
3:51
ALBUM TRACK LINER NOTES: A lively cimbalom kicks off a whirlwind tour of Waterdeep, the Sword Coast’s greatest city. From the skies where griffon cavalry patrol to the chambers where enigmatic Masked Lords scheme, every corner holds opportunity.
Midway through, the tour dips below the city to encounter the dread beholder Xanathar and its criminal guild. Xanathar is represented by the eerie intonations of a spherical waterphone, an instrument filled with water and encircled by bronze rods bowed in both directions by multiple players.
The tempo accelerates, driven by the vibrant interplay of brass and strings, completing a breakneck spin through a “City of Splendors” where anything can happen.
