1.
After the siege and destruction of his castle, Lord Baerston managed to escape the Empire's troops. Now he is searching for a hideout in the forest.
2.
Desolation 03:02
Lord Baerston experiences the desolation of his hideout, far away from the ruins of his castle. It is very difficult to see how he can even start to rebuild his life from here. Keeping himself fed, warm and dry is a daily task which is more than enough to handle. What's more, he's constantly worrying about his wife and child, whom he sent away just before the siege.
3.
Being alone, Lord Baerston has plenty of time to reflect on his past - and on his future. He cannot remain here. But trying to reach the coast on his own is dangerous. There are certainly enemy patrols on the roads. Yet, he knows he will have to try.
4.
Suddenly, the forest is too quiet. And then, a roar is heard! A bear has approached the hideout, clearly scared but prepared to fight for its life. The prospects are suddenly much more bleak for Lord Baerston, but rescue is at hand. A party of bearhunters appear and they kill the bear. Lord Baerston takes the opportunity to negotiate with them. To his immense relief, they are willing to take him with them to the coast.
5.
Lord Baerston travels with the bearhunters. To avoid any trouble, he is disguised as a hunter.
6.
Lady Baerston and her child is in safety in a foreign land. But her heart aches as she misses her husband. Alas, that he would be at her side!
7.
Without the Lady knowing, Lord Baerston is actually on his way to her. And, yes, 'tis a perilous journey, across a sea more raging and waste than he had imagined.
8.
Finally, Lord Baerston arrives in the foreign city, and he is reunited with his wife and child. Thus, a new chapter begins in the Baerston saga.

about

After the fall of Baerston Keep, Lord Baerston goes into hiding. The Empire has declared him wanted for treason, since he did not bow to their authority.

This is the continuation of the Baerston saga, which began with the Chronicles of Lord Baerston. The story is told in the lyrics sections of the tracks.

The video for "Searching for a Hideout" is available on YouTube.

From the review by Stranger Eons, December 10, 2020:
"This is a project in which you can hear (and see if you get a physical copy) the love for the art itself and that’s, to me, the coolest thing dungeon synth can do. --- Meadow Grove is definitely a project still developing and when the sounds are more tailored to an organic feel, this can go a long way."
