For the majority of Season 2, the main party is dealing with plots involving political intrigue, deposed gods, corruption, and murder. That all comes to a head at the Gray Acropolis, the palace rumored to have belonged to the God of Storms, which has become chained to the earth.
The entry to the palace is made during a period of betrayal amidst the throes of an unearthly storm as the sun sets far in the distance. It's pretty dramatic stuff!
Inspiration was mostly from Breath of Fire III and Chrono Trigger from this one. Great games with very cinematic soundtracks. Those games are some of what really tweaked my brain as a musician, and taught me to write better.
