Cosmere Conversations

Brooke and Tyler are joined by three musically gifted souls to break down their 16 creations for each of the Shards of Adonalsium. Plus the world-premiere of Retribution's never heard before track! At Dragonsteel Nexus 2025, the Music Meets Magic panelists went above and beyond to create multiple musical tracks for each of the Shards and several combinations. We wanted to share their creations with all as well as get their insights on how to create music for fantasy worlds. #AllSpoilers
