- Noble Jurists! I humbly present this song dedicated to the journey of Austraeoh. To not leaving anyone behind, and not looking the other way. No idea what I'm talking about? You're missing out - check out the Austraeoh fimfic series: www.fimfiction..... (Warning: it's reeeeeaaallllyyyy long and it has some pretty dark themes at times). I'm currently halfway through the fourth book, Odrsjot. It's kinda like The Lord of the Rings, but with ponies. Hence the cool Tolkieny map which was drawn by Sinrar and coloured/labelled by Swan Song: sinrar.devianta..., www.fimfiction...., artwork: i.imgur.com/skh.... Extended map: sta.sh/029lypxr...

Lyrics:
That you would stand there beside me, hold my hooves.
Tell me it'll all be okay. I'm not the monster.
That I'm not the one to blame.
The cuts run deep, but you'll survive, we're your Eljunbyro.
The wind to take you beyond, to the dark side.
And the armory most midnight.
Together we'll fly eastward.
The ancients know of what's to come, yet they're silent.
Living in a bubble, so much chaos I never knew.
Of anger and regret, despite the miles never forget.
I see the trees and cry into the red.
Through it all, the nightmare, much bigger than me.
I'll never give up, I am loyalty.
heading eastward......to the like button.
*Adds another piece of fanfiction to the 'Must Read' list*
You might want to start soon, it's been getting fairly consistent updates since 2012
So, we're talking longer then Project Horizons at this point?
212744 + 223505 + 313419 + 357354 + 438033 + 364762 + 423534 + 686567
= 3,019,918
Horizons is roughly 1.8 mill
The longest 'series' on fimfic is 99 Worlds, I believe, at 4,515,615 words. (about 400K is optional) This guy BlackRoseRaven is a literally word-barfer, seemingly shitting out complete stories within a month. Writing is ok, though the style is a bit off putting to me.
Holy mother of god. Is there any sign of this series ending anytime soon?
The author has it planned to be finished at 12 books. He used to keep to a 200 chapter, daily update schedule, but as of the 8th book, due to plot bloat, dailys was momentarily suspended for larger chapters. A month or so later, the 200 chapter limit was dropped so dailies could start again.
Which is why Utaan (8) is 680K words so far.
I didn't draw the map, I only colored it. Sinrar drew the map (hence why his character in Ynan is a cartographer).
Oh! Thanks for that. Well, still, good job on the colouring :D I've updated the description.
Man, we got teased with new updates for, like, a month, and now we have to wait again 😪
Something about the way you say "We're your Eljunbyro" captivates me. With how much fanfiction I read, i can't believe i haven't come across this series yet, but now i have something to binge read!
Remarkable phrasing with the lyrics Silver Note, and the whole production in general. I keep coming back to this ^-^
Well you've found the right fic for binge reading :P I couldn't stop once I started this. Thanks :)
I love you. Been waiting for an Austreoh song.
P.s. this is now my ringtone. Stay beautiful.
:D You too
I come back to this song every once in a while, and I love it equally every time. I need to come back to the story itself, I was by the end of Innavedr a year ago, but then life got in the way...
Halfway through Odrsjot...?
...I'm so sorry.
Brace Yourself. Once it hits, it's going to take a long time to recover. I think a lot of readers gave up around that point, but it's worth it to endure. Still, that finale is a doozy. So seriously. Brace Yourself.
Well that's ominous :P
Always Eastward. I've been catching up slowly on fanfiction, Austraeoh included. I listen to this song on a daily basis since I've heard it last year for the first time. Thank you for making it, this fic need more songs ^^
Wow, this is very good. You can just feel the emotion and power behind each word. I have been procrastinating on reading on Austraeoh, but this is inspiring me to do so. Bravo, Silver Note! Easily going into my all time favorite Pony songs!
Aww I don't know what to say... I'm glad you like it
Ok. So, upon further listening I have come to the realization that this song is ridiculously emotion inducing, if you look at it from the eyes of an up-to-date Juror. It brings me great happiness to hear this and all, but there are... things. Things I know. Things I have seen. These things cause me to leave this comment, whose main body will, in fact, contain spoilers for books 6 onwards. To pad up more space, I will now explain what we are obsessing about for anyone who reads this (but not the description???)
So, basically, Austraeoh is an adventure series that's been ongoing with (near) daily updates for several years (200x8 days or so right now) due to Imploding Colon's superb dedication. It's a story of Rainbow Dash's journey eastwards, as the summary says. It turns some people off the story, but no more can be said without spoilers. Wondering if you want to read this? Well, lemme suggest you read book 1, titled Austraeoh (link in description) as it is, alone, a pretty self-contained story. Read the comments, too. They're pretty cool.
SPOILERS AHEAD FOR BOOKS 6 AND 7-You have been warned.
Ok. Done? Good. I can never be too careful. I think.
So, upon further deliberation, the way this song says that Eljunbyro shall take Dash to the Dark Side and Midnight Armory makes me think it's from Bellesmith or Roarke's PoV in a way, cause they were the major ones in denial of the necessity of leaving the Jury once they got to either the Choke or Edge. The middle books were a generally emotional time and possibly the last time I've shed tears for any empathy-related reason.
This also means that it reminds me of the loss of the greatest band of OC's I had seen in a long time, and the vehement way this song represents the Jury's loyalty to Dash, and their lifelong commitment to her both make me see this song as heart-crushing. The desperation for reassurance from the singer, the sense of the repressed tears at the end, all of it to me screams Dash's journey into the Grand Choke. I guess I can relate more to this than some people, and so they will think I'm just being dramatic, but for me the abandonment of friends is something I've never handled well. Especially being on both sides of the spectrum from abandoner to abandonee.
I'm about done my rant, so I'll just summarize
TL;DR: This song is actually really freaking sad cause if you take it from Belle or Roarke's PoV it's a song about abandonment and heartbreak and the fact that they don't know it and sing so hopefully kinda hurts if you know what's coming next. Also read Austraeoh.
Thanks, I'm done. Apologies.
Gah look away, spoilers! Haha, when I catch up to you I will reread your comment :P
Well that certainly contributes outstandingly to the awesome list, really nice work there.
As for your current story progress.. Odrsjot.. well you still got quite a ride ahead of you, that one has them all, the goods and the bads.
Alright, that's it. I've been seeing Austraeoh tributes a lot recently for some reason and they all make me want to get back into reading that fic. I stopped a while ago in the middle of Yaerfaerda. Im gonna do it. Hopefully I can still remember enough details to not have to reread a bunch.
>>I stopped a while ago in the middle of Yaerfaerda.
At the last third of a Yaerfaerda your patience will be rewarded, and next 3+ books all goes really good. But yeah, vol 3 and 4 is less addictive on my taste (I have drop reading on a Odrsjot but later feel that story still calls and came back).
Yeah, there were low points throughout the series for me too, but I finally caught up in the story for the first time. Although I'm behind a couple chapters right now, I'm gonna fix that tonight. :)
Easting spit is only boomer spit worth the dripping, yes yes yes.
Best elk gonna be best elk.
S... Senpai...
You catch up to the Jury, I'm telling you, it's a different experience. They're a good batch of people. I got to meet a handful at EFNW and bat around head-exploding theories about East Horse. Good frikkin' times. Maybe we'll see you there next year?
That would be pretty awesome, maybe you will :)
Every time I see a new song by you I know it's going to be good before I even click on the video, and this time was no different great job!
Thanks Lightning
Love da bass :3
Thanks Pekano :) Why choose electronic vs acoustic when you can have both? :P
Annnnnnnd subscribed. Keep up the great work!
Been playing Eastward (video game) and wanted to listen to this.
Hay, that's a cool map you've got here. :P
Awesome song!
Sinrar, you and Swan Song did an awesome job making this map! :) Hope it's okay that I used it here.
+Silver Note totally fine ! I might send you the link to the current version of the map, though, so people can access it directly. Also, yes, Swan Song did a much better job than me with the colors, I love that version. And once again, good job with the song !
Yes please, that would be great. I saw what I believe to be your unmodified, full version in a comment on EqD - it's really good. It's really nice to visualise the story. I'm glad you like the song :)
sta.sh/029lypxr2hvd there you go! It's not the final version yet (whic his why I haven't posted it on DA yet), there's at least the locations from the 8th book to add, but it's pretty close to the final product.
Glad you like the map, too.
Thanks :) I've updated the description to include it.
Super awesome as always!
Thanks EPT :D
Great song! This song is really catchy. I'll be sure to check out more of your music! :)
And I'm a great fan of Austraeoh, too! I'm almost at the end of Ynanhluutr, but I'm not going to spoil it. :P
Thanks, I never think my songs are particularly catchy, so I'm glad to hear that :) I think partly because I don't usually like to follow lyrical structure/rhyming conventions haha. Hope you like the rest of what you hear too. Yay another Austraeoh fan! Seems like there's a lot of us out there. Appreciate the no spoilers :)
I just saw Argodaemon's animation based on this. Now I come across an awesome fan song. The last time I came across a great fan song based on a story was, Hard reset which is part of the time loop trilogy. I had to know what the story was about do to how emotional the song was and oh my, the story was amazing. I can't wait to start my long journey with Rainbow. Eastward!!!
Omg just saw Argodaemon's animation, thanks for the heads up! So good. Welcome to the Noble Jury / Lunar Ninthers! The Hard Reset trilogy is awesome too - didn't know there was a song for it - who does that one? Cheers!
The song I heard that's about the time loop trilogy is called Simple Words by And the Rainfall. The lyrics is what made me interested in the trilogy. Oh and I've listened to a bunch or your music and your music is really professional sounding compared to a lot of others. Great work!!!
Thanks for sharing that. I always appreciate positive lyrics and that song does just that in spite of what Twilight goes through. Thanks for the kind words :)
I always, always love your music! ^^
Nathan! You make me smiles :D
The next song from you I can listen to over and over again ! :D
Hee :) I'll keep trying to post more frequently so there's more variety to listen to :P I have two half-finished songs on the way.
Damn this was great, love those vocals :)
This is amazing!
AWESOME! ^_^ this song brings emotions and made my day )
Aww I'm glad to hear that
Wow, another masterpiece!
Thanks Makenshi
them some gud tunes my dude
Thanks :)
This is ridiculously high quality.
This beats Mando's Loyalty and Replacer's Cerulean Blue for best Rainbow Dash song.
Awesome song.
On the map: it was actually drawn by Sinrar. Swan Song just did the colouring and labeling. Sinrar has since expanded the map and done his own colouring: www.fimfiction.net/group/1477/austraeoh/thread/161381/map-thingie-progress-update
Ah yep, just got a comment from Swan Song too about this. Thank you, I've updated the description.
This is neat!
How have I never heard of this series?
Definitely worth checking out. It has a slow start perhaps, but even that is uniquely enjoyable.
Yeah, I just downloaded all 7 completed books and assembled them for Kindle. Now let's see how long it takes to read it all, assuming I enjoy the first one. My life just became over 2 million words more complicated, and it's all your fault, Silver Note. =P Have you read "It's A Dangerous Business, Going Out Your Door"? That's been my #1 fanfic in my four-year tour and one of my favorite pieces of literature period. It's the closest to now that I've gotten to "J.R.R. Tolkien writes an MLP fanfic" so I'm interested to see how this compares in feeling like ponified LotR.
Haha sorry about that :P No I haven't heard of that one, but it looks really good. I'll check it out, thanks! Hmm I should really get a Kindle too..
Saudades
I *thought* I heard the word "Eljunbyro" in there and I was like "What?" XD Awesome.
Hey hey, a fellow Jurist :D
Not yet, but I've had a fun time figuring out how to say the various titles! :B
Haha yeah, seems to get worse with each book too.
I'm sure you've seen this already, but it's actually Sinrar who made the map. Utaan is probably the easiest to pronounce and it's the latest.
Ah yes thank you, and true.
Yes dude
Thanks
To the Grand Choke and beyond.
Forever eastward! :D
The 2ed verse can apply to the game Eastward.
partway through Odrsjot eh? just you wait. It'll get way intense soon enough.
Blimey because it hasn't been intense enough already :P
+Silver Note Oh, no. And things are getting so bad IC had to remove the 200 chapters cap for Utaan.
wow
Have you caught up to Ofolrodi yet?
Yep, I'm at the front lines! For others - *spoilers*
While I don't trust Sera, it's good to see her helping out and kicking some a** in the current choas-goblin-ish threat!
Silver Note Hah! There is a big discord chat for this stuff. If you have a discord I could get you in it. Also nice job on this! I kinda see this as one of the main themes for East horse now
Also there will be another update tomorrow
That'd be sweet! I don't go on very often, but it would be cool to check this out every now and again! And thank you
Silver Note discord.gg/HTRSb Just made this, maybe it'll work
Are you on spotify?
No... but that's something I could do. I'll let you know if I do!
Ile go read the book. that way the song is more epic then it already is.
Be warned. You'll get sucked in.
Shadowstar_Darkpon3 yeah

Gah, I've always wanted to read that, but it's sooo long and I've got so many other things to read ;~;
Yeah it will consume your life, but it's totally worth it :P
Heh, I already let Fallout Equestria do that. Maybe this'll be the next one. Still have 5 mil words on read later list bleh
xD
Just set aside your free time. For three or four months (just an hour or three a day, with minimal sleep to maintain social and practical expectations. Took me that long to catch up, and I'm a particularly fast reader... Best of luck whatever you choose, but you're always welcome with the Jury.
Luna Poop
Ya melon fudge
Silver boomer's spit!
yes yes yes
