“White Eyes tells the story of Khomorrah, a frail child who has lived alone in a dark, windowless space since the inception of her memory and has always depended on a merciless box of light for nourishment and peace, inadvertently receiving pain, nightmares and sorrow as well. Blinded upon her escape from her cold prison, she comes to find she bears a unique gift: being able to see her surroundings in emanations of light and shadow… Good and evil… Life and death… Her path intertwines with The Warrior Huntsmen of Krohnoss, a tribe entrusted with the celestial task of eradicating tyrannical rulers from this world. They work together as they unravel who she is, what their true calling might be, and what the kingdom of gods and mortals holds for them.”
This novella is part of a bigger artistic endeavor that encompasses music as well. The story of White Eyes was created to form the backbone for the album of the same name by Blind The Huntsmen. Being a progressive metal album, we strived to create something interesting that propels the listener forward, both musically and in lyrical content, and so the idea of implementing this story came to be, hoping to go a step further with the concept album platform.
