New season, new villain ... sort of. The final season doesn't just deal with the titular Order. There are now two forces at work (three, counting the Church of Elia) which are not only opposed to each other, but the player's party as well.

I don't want to get heavy into specifics, but if you've ready the first 3 seasons so far* I'll be glad to cryptically answer some questions in comments. The Mad Goddess is a formidable foe. She isn't organized like the Order, or the Church, and simply kills, and kills, and kills. Oh, and she has a flying island that helps her with all this killing (and/or recruiting.) Both the Order and the Church are in her gunsights, but so is your player party, as said earlier. In fact, pretty much everyone hates your player party, even the thieves' guild. Good luck with that.

This theme represents her, but it mostly represents her accomplishments and her following, not so much her as a person.

Anyway, all that aside, I went for a slightly eerie sounding theme this time, as well as one that could signify the followers she's amassed (protip: A decent few.) There's several Mitsuda homages in here (as usual) as I feel he's the best at capturing this kind of emotion.

There's bits of chanting here and there, lots of percussion, and such to signify her following. Since she's a Goddess of water, I put in a few watery sounds as well. It was a very hard balance to strike, honestly, but I'm happy with the result.
