📚 Just below, some amazing stories to read, written by our community on our Discord server!
[Ruined Castle - Caitlin Mulholland]
The sunlight streams through the shattered corridors of the castle. You imagine that it was a sight to behold during its prime. The dulled carvings along the doorways and columns are enough to give that away, even if the art and furniture are stripped away from the building. Any obviously placed riches were stolen-or liberated as some might say-a long time ago when the family was ousted.
Fortunately, you’re looking for something a little less public.
Crumbling holes in the walls reveal what were probably once secret passages, though now they’re open for all to see. The only thing preventing outsiders from venturing into the heart of the castle is the destroyed staircase. The stones have crumbled away, though you can’t tell if the source of this decay is the natural consequence of no upkeep or the result of some untold strength the invaders used when attacking. The history of the destruction is no matter to you. Knowing it wouldn’t make climbing down any less of an annoyance. You tie off your rope around a pillar and toss the end down the hole. A brief worry flashes through your mind when you see yet another rat scurry across the hall. Would they start chewing on the rope while you’re climbing? Would they cause the rope to snap while you’re searching the building, entombing you within?
Clenching your eyes shut, you start belaying down the passage. Your employers at the market don’t pay you to let fear screw with your head. You shove against the crumbing marble with your feet as you keep your mind focused on the prize hiding within these walls.
[Long Gone - MisterYeetus]
I stepped over the threshold and into the dusty keep. The place was ancient, full of forgotten memories. A castle that once housed some noble family was now the dwelling for scavenging rats and spinning spiders. I breathed in the air, and felt the heaviness of it in my lungs. I could taste the abandonment. I kept walking.
My footsteps echoed along the lonely corridors as I walked, and peered through broken doors and into dilapidated rooms. Empty save for destroyed furniture and the nests of rodents. I continued along, looking into every room.
Shredded banners that once hung high and proud now covered the long dining table. I sniffed the air, as if trying to smell the feasts that were served here, but all I could smell was the thick dust, and broken dreams.
The massive oak doors still stood, like two imposing guardians. The hinges rusted, the wood splintered, but they still stood, tall and proud. I pushed them open, and entered the room beyond. The red velvet carpet was threadbare, and ruined. The high vaulted ceiling had collapsed, scattering glass and rubble everywhere.
But the throne stayed untouched. Its magnificence was apparent, even in the dim light. It shone, a symbol of power and justice. The man sitting in it did not shine. The bones of the former lay still, crooked in his chair. I looked, and it was a long while before I breathed again. I turned from the skeleton, and nodded to myself.
The memories, happiness, hope for the future were long gone. Nothing but food for beasts.
📌 Here's another ambience for your RPG sessions or for your projects, a ruined castle, with rats, a small breeze and eerie drones, and many others. You can expect many more ambient creations like this one! You need a special ambience for your RPG sessions ? Just ask, and I create it !
"Some say when the wind blows from the north you can hear the scream of the fallen queen screaming for help."
“The real question is... did the king fall with the castle?”
If he did, let's hope the necromancers don't get to him. That would stir the masses for sure. Maybe raise some controversy.
I don’t think the king had a choice, (points at blocked exit) must’ve been an old horde marauder attack, even then they were brutal
Better question...is the treasure room intact?
Yes Treasure room intact ... still hidden behind secret door after all these years with body of King who fled to die of starvation with his gold... a vengeful spirit if disturbed.
Exploring the old fortress, I note a second gatehouse on the extreme end of the inner wall, so that an attacking army would have to turn right and run for it across the outer ward at a greater distance, making them more vulnerable to arrows and spears from the defenders on both walls. Passing through this gatehouse, I see what must be the main hall on the far side of the inner ward, with the inner curtain wall connecting to it and a tall, imposing watchtower rising from the place where the wall and the keep meet, along with other towers. A smaller extension that is clearly meant to be the chapel juts out from the side of the Great Hall, and a few other buildings lie in differing states of ruin along the walls of the inner ward. I find that most of the castle is still remarkably intact for its age, save for one section of wall that is crumbling into ruin, a few other areas where some wood work has gone to rubble and a spot or two of slightly derelict masonry; yet the towers and walls are lonely for sentries, and no light from candle or torch is seen from the windows of the main hall. The impressive landmark has become an empty shell, a mere echo of the thing it used to be, silent now save for the rats, bats, and other creatures flying and scurrying through its outer and inner wards and the wind that howls through the battlements.
could be how the few Roman legion officers that actually was worth ther salt felt in the western empires first days of decline ...when it abandoned england and scraped for soldiers left and right to hold onto european heart lands...
Possibly. Though what I was going for here was more like a late 13th Century concentric castle, which is why I referenced both an outer and an inner wall.
@@Stardweller1 it would fit nicely ,though so would the concentric super forts of old egypt be possible candidates to... but true ,in that aspect i am not sure if roman ones fit i cant recall if they actually ever learnt to build fortifications that well... at least the western half , the eastern that became byzantium did of course with the famoused Constantinople double walls etc hmm..
actually sort of strange the western romans not embraced it more considering some of ther arch foes made ther victories sour due to such specific and efficient details in ther last stands...
not sure if a 13th century concentric castle have time to be abandoned though dident most of them that reached that size turn into military arsenal/training locations until castles as a whole became became lees military locations and more culture ones ?
of course.. can just be an alternative reality ^^
hoppe you not took it as critic though loved the little description for the music it made me envision various things.
Oh, trust me; 13th Century castles were abandoned and fell into ruin. For examples, look at the castles built in Wales by Edward I. In those cases, the castles have all been reduced to impressive but unused (except as tourist attractions and historical sites) landmarks even as the towns built in their shadows grew and thrived.
@@Stardweller1 the circle of life reflected in the stone monuments of those embodying it one might say...
mostly recall myself how most of them where either abandoned ,or by the time the grown into proper concentric ones they also grown into multi district areas rather then one singular fortification.. wich then got converted to artility forts before becoming nothing but vanity as gunpowder replaced heavy cavalry in a lot of ways.
either way fascinating history and a sweet first person view you painted of it.
Played this during my DnD campaign a few days ago and set the mood perfectly , so cheers for the ambience.
Very oddly specific but exactly what I need! Thanks for the amazing ambience as always! Really helps my gaming sessions come to life!
I feel this darkness that tries to overcome me and take hold, but I fight it every day. This music helps.
great stuff! can't wait to make them explore a totally not haunted abandoned castle
You make the best soundscapes on TH-cam! Thank you so much for your hard work!
This is nice, used it for an abandoned island for me and my gf to story write to. Thanks bud!
You are welcome, have fun :)
I think this ambience could maybe have been improved with the faint sound of some rocks or stones falling here and there. Either way, absolutely amazing!
I can definitely hear rocks and stones falling, maybe turn up your volume a bit?
@@bobloblaw2342 nope, only birds and chilling wind. I think you suffer hallucinations :S
True
@TsunzucchiniTzatzikiSanon gang
@@Userfriendly116 you're the only one who doesn't hear them. Though it may be hard to hear when the dark, damp dungeon is breathing so loudly...
"Not Haunted" SAYS YOU
Perfect backdrop for my upcoming D&D session, thank you.
Came acroos this video whilst reading the gunslinger, now I'm reading the entire dark tower series (currently on wizard and glass) and I always come back to this video. Great ambience 10/10
Thank you Cameron! Happy we can provide something you enjoy.
Consider checking the rest of the channel, we have plenty other ambiences ! (about 500)
Очень атмосферно. Слушаю почти ежедневно. Полное отрешение от реальности.
This is perfect! I have a dnd game where a group of succubi/inccubi have gathered to take the souls of those they have corrupted, upon their 3rd and final act the victims souls will be reaped.. this is absolutely perfect! thank you.
My EMF isn't going off, no haunted confirmed.
Long ago
In tales of old,
Or so the stories say.
There was a king
And with his queen
They ruled the land of day.
Nobody knows
Where they have gone
For all we know they're dead
The burning question
That I have:
What happened that they fled?
Maybe a Dragon once took it over and is now slumbering inside?
mustve been fatalis
Bro that was awesome
i've just purchased this from you, as heard it on youtube recently, just returned to it today. this is amazing music, takes me to the past, thoughts of a possible connection to the far past. thank you
I received your message, thank you very much for your support, it's highly appreciated! Have fun on my channel :)
Thank you Michael. This sounds are very inspiring. Have a nice day 😊❤
Thank you! You too!
"This place looks medieval,* chuckle. * the old man said it would be here. Oh Amanda, I hope your alright"
No ghost? (looks about warily) So you say.....
this one is especially relaxing, only rats gives anxiety a bit :) btw thanks for making fronts black, now full screen is very immersive background
You were right, and I proudly admit it. Thanks again for the suggestion!
The medallions in our hearts are hyperactive, disembodied voices scream in the howling drafts, and talons scuttle on stone in a long abandoned castle whose supplies of food expired decades ago. The walls and ceilings may collapse at any time; so we avoid explosions and kinetic attacks. We burn spectre oil in our torches in order to keep the spirits at bay, we apply spectre oil to our silver weapons and apply other oils to our other weapons. We opt to use flash bombs and incendiary attacks. There are neither remains of people nor animals despite the plethora of rotting wooden furniture and oxidizing metal artifacts. The archives are burned except for baby skin journals that are hidden in chests and jars. In dried blood and by the light of blessed candles, the journals describe unethical experiments, torture, murder, and other atrocities that make our growling stomachs churn until we force ourselves to eat pieces of dried fruit, nuts, and dried meat to suppress the pain. Necrophages, insectoids, and bandits are of little concern due to biting cold and lack of food, but spirits and threats of unknown creatures keep all of us on guard as we grip our weapons tightly for dear life as we set up camp as a severe storm approaches. Even though our lamps burn hours worth of spectre oil and we are covered in thick wool, the disembodied screams and tapestries of demons ensure that sleep will not be easy.
Dark/undead realm: dark remains of a once prosperous kingdom
hehe, no ghost, another amazing ambience man! I love it.
I enjoy all of your work. But I have to say, this is my favorite. Great work.
Thank you !
Yup, Dark Souls Vibes are on 🤔👌🏿
and who are you? the proud lord said...
I am reading il Deserto Dei Tartari with this. Thank you
What was once a towering example of power is nothing more than a reminder of our weaknesses...
Wonderful work as always. So subtle and yet such an immersive sound!
A nice creepy place for Scooby-Doo and the gang to investigate.
Love it thanks bro 😎
Glad you like it
There's definitely a black dragon lurking here
The smell of ruin and decay is so palpable...
I love all of your work, but ESPECIALLY these ones where you've created super atmospheric ambience but added some music too so it feels less intimidating for a game table
This is so good and creepy and eerie perfect for my scary story with jeff the k in it, it's perfect for a scene in the forest. I'm not doing a d and d story but I play music in the background for each scene, thank you michael ghelifi for making these spooky ones ,♥️♥️♥️♥️😎😎😎
Ominous... Ominous... Ominous 😨😨😨
Can you please make a space ambience sound. For example in spaceships
Go to Cryo Chamber's page. They have lots of artists doing space ambient. Sphare Sechs, alphaxone, Hilyard, etc
@@christopherkelley1664 They make a mix of ambience and music, but I only search for ambience
@@philowiesel8379 If you say so
Yes I will! I just have to compose ~30 more medieval ambiences before (to finish Volume IV)
I can't recall, do your soundscapes often have ambient on music? Can't wait for the revised countryside one. I do like this one, it might not be haunted but it sure sounds like it could be. I guess we'll have to explore further into the castle.
I almost never add music over the ambience.
Thanks a lot for your nice words :)
@@MichaelGhelfiStudios ah ok thanks and I like it that way :)
Not haunted lol? No ruined castle without ghosts :D
No sound of ghosts... but maybe they are just very stealthy ;)
Sometimes the spirits of the dead are nothing more than silent, impartial observers who watch the living without intervention for good or ill, and thus are never detected. If there are ghosts here, that must be the kind of ghosts they are.
Something is only haunted if the spirits are evil. Doesn't mean there aren't any spirits.
@@Stardweller1 // You don't get to see the spirits, but the spirits very much get to see you.
Reminds me of the exalted plains from dragon age inquisition
You inspire me to start an ambience channel but I’m not sure where to start! Any tips for a new artist?
I'll be 100% honest.
Don't.
There are millions of them and they all look alike. We are only a handful to actually create new audio instead of stealing others' work. It takes years of training and thousands of dollars of investment to get the right tools/audio libraries.
@@MichaelGhelfiStudios I respect the honesty, however I do already have recording equipment and a fair amount of knowledge regarding SFX creation. I think my biggest roadblock is the creative process of trying to create an original or quasi-original environmental soundscape, an audio terrain people haven’t heard yet. Until I stumbled across your channel, I could barely listen to any ASMR ambience because they all sounded the same but you build such vivid worlds with only sound. It’s truly impressive
i still cant afford it. do you have anything cheaper? maybe a radioactive crater? on my budget the best i can do is $2000 a month.
It sounds like where I live, here in Switzerland...
If one wanted to try D&D, what is a good starting point?
To me, the best way is to find people to play in person. You can try local game shops (if there are any where you live). Alternatively, there are forums, subreddits and discord where people can give you more info, or invite you in their games.
Hello! Can I unse your ambience video in my videos? shure I take the link in the discription and make a way to your chanel... but.... in one or two years I will use my Story-Chanel in an Commercial Chanel ... is this ok for you? greets Erik
Would you consider uploading a version of this without the rats?
The animals make the location a little too specific.
So far, one of my favorites. Reminds me a lot of the ambience in "Thief: The Dark Project".
Thank you.
Sadly no, such kind of variant versions are for my patrons. I only share the main version on TH-cam. I hope you understand.
(The process of uploading a video takes 2 to 3 hours)
@@MichaelGhelfiStudios
No worries, I do understand.
We're currently living in a crazy world, where the masses expect most of their casual entertainment to be free and artists are struggling to survive, when they aren't the lucky ones who gain mass popularity in media.
I can see...uh...hear...the value of your work!
Am I allow to use your music in your channel while streaming on Twitch?
Please check the bottom of the description, there's a link to my conditions of use.
Id give eanything for this but without the rats . Where can i get this :(
Does anyone else sleep to this?
The remains of minas tirith?
Just in cause you were wondering... It's not haunted.
Thanks for making sure. I still had a doubt.
