Enter the Veil
Albion Arcana is a human-led music and mythical storytelling project created by British songwriter and producer William Jordan. Journey into an imagined Britain of ruined abbeys, ancient mysteries, forgotten kingdoms and gathering dawn – brought to life through hypnotic electronic grooves, sweeping synthesisers, sacred choirs and medieval chants.
A Tale of Two Taverns
At one end of the old road stands The Ravenmere: respectable, steadfast and favoured by travellers with honest business to conduct. At the other burns the inviting lantern of The Moonlit Cup, where Vespera pours the wine, secrets pass freely and respectable intentions rarely survive the night.
Between these two houses, the people of Albion meet, scheme, celebrate and occasionally disappear. Their stories form a living thread through the music and mythology of Albion Arcana.
The Ravenmere
The Moonlit Cup
Elegant, discreet and respectably scandalous, The Ravenmere welcomes travellers from every road – and occasionally, from entirely different ages. Its formidable mistress, Vera, Keeper of the Common Measure, ensures that every guest receives fair measure, complete discretion and precisely as much truth as the occasion requires.
Lively, shameless and openly disreputable, The Moonlit Cup is where Albion drinks, sings and makes decisions best forgotten by morning. Its beguiling landlady, Vespera, Mistress of the Moonlit Cup, hears every secret shared beneath her roof – and repeats only those worth repeating.
