“…And many among them became enamoured of its beauty, and of its history which they saw beginning and unfolding as in a vision. Therefore Ilúvatar gave to their vision Being, and set it amid the Void, and the Secret Fire was sent to burn at the heart of the World; and it was called Eä.” (Valaquenta, The Silmarillion, J. R. R. Tolkien).

Valaquenta II is the second part of the Valaquenta ritual, the music that guides the story of the Valar according to the Silmarillion by J. R. R. Tolkien. In Frostgard's second release, the stories and thoughts of the Valar are told through dark and ancient melodies of Dungeon Synth music.
