To ascend, our Heroes must undergo a purification, looking within themselves in meditation. The darkest side of the self lurks behind a black moon in this journey to the center of the mind.

The Book of Changes tells the story of a group of heroes in a fantastical world, fighting the forces of darkness. Each album tells a part, based on a particular trigram of the I Ching. Together, the eight albums make up a larger tale about the heroes and their world, progressing in linear fashion from Sapphire to Lapis Lazuli. The listener gets to decide the meaning of each moment in the story based on mood, imagery, title, original context, lyrics, or anything else that fits.
