Program Notes:
Deep in the Maguuma Jungle, the golden city of Tarir hides in secret. Built by the magically advanced Forgotten, and inspired by the mythical El Dorado, Tarir is only the beginning of a larger plan set in motion by a benevolent dragon oracle to save the planet of Tyria. Now that you, the Commander, have arrived with the oracle's last egg, the city and its magical guardians have awakened to finally begin their true work. Tarir is built like an inverted pyramid; in order to reach the true heart of this place, you must descend past several layers of vegetation and golden walls. It's a steep drop, but you have a glider.
"Tarir, The Forgotten City" paints an aural picture of the city coming to life. The city's mystery is heard through the woodwinds and strings-its majesty heard in the brass, all while the percussion is a constant presence like the dense jungle around it. Its golden doors are hidden away by vines; its people, hibernating for centuries. But with the arrival of the egg, it begins to wake up with a magical light. Finally, the full glory of Tarir is laid out below you. You take a deep breath as the music crescendos… and jump.
Suddenly the music gets more exciting as gold and green fly by. Yet it is not aggressive, for this is a place of safety. The theme plays again, louder this time, as the city becomes more alive and its guardians assemble to greet you as you touch down. Though your mind is flooded with new questions, at least you know the egg is safe…for now.
