With a little hiccup Guild Wars 2 released the missing piece that should have played during the final battle in Braham's story mission.
And this track is the culmination of the whole musical arc since Shadow in the Ice to Jormag Rising up until Truce and now.

Actually Maclaine wrote what I wanted to write about this track: For Primordus's Champion, I wanted to bring all the work I've done for the Icebrood Saga together into one epic track. The melody from Spirits of the Wild is now played by a woodwind instrument called a fujara, which is both epic in size and has a lot of raspy overtones. It seemed perfect to represent the union of a big lunk like Braham and an elemental dragon.
There was a second track (only 2 tracks this patch): https://youtu.be/NP1DQCMGm70 - it plays while Spirits of the Wild are being sent into Primordus by Braham.
And it actually made me very emotional, because I honestly really love this character and to see him grow into a legend like his mother Eir... just such incredible ending to his arc - always a golden heart, but dumb - everyone has a weakness, but his courage will be a star to guide us and his emo phase will be remembered forever <3

Let's just really appreciate the composers' work the whole Saga, especially Maclaine that honestly with his originality and finding unusual instruments made the whole Saga so very special musically.
Music nerd signs off and see you next month when Judgement is released. <3
