For millennia, instruments like the Ney, Duduk, Kamancheh, Setar, Bendir, and Tombak, alongside traditional singing, notably the Tanbur, have etched their presence in Mesopotamia's tapestry of sound. Within their harmonies lies an ancient secret, a resonance that has sustained them over time.

The music team's tireless efforts foster an intricate interplay of discovery and intuition, weaving together Eastern rhythms, melodies, and instruments with precision. Within "The Land of the Magnates," the marriage of ancient voices to the exactitude of the Western musical system is evident. The fluidity and variability inherent in Eastern music find expression through meticulously selected "Edvâr" cycles. These rhythmic patterns, reminiscent of Abdul Qader Maraghey's compositions from the fourth century AH, imbue the album with a timeless resonance.

The music of "The Land of the Magnates" serves as the primary weapon against darkness in the game. The music team aimed to imbue the Setar with salvation, awe, and warmth, ensuring its pivotal role in the player's journey. An innovative aspect of the project was the transformation of the traditional three-string Setar, a process fraught with numerous trials and errors. Through perseverance, they crafted a distinct and precise set of strings, both innovative and conducive to the game's immersive audio experience.

The project integrates Mahur and Bayat Tork from the Iranian music repertoire into the Tetrachord, blending them with the nuances and atmospheres of Arabic and Turkish music, which share an intrinsic connection. Efforts have been made to fuse Eastern melodies with electronic elements and imaginative soundscapes to create a seamless fusion of traditional and contemporary auditory experiences.
