The first half of the album mainly focuses on [[Yin]] and [[Yang]] and the war of the dragons, while the latter half performs a timeskip to the main events of the RU, hundreds of years in the future: first to focus on [[Kari]], [[Sketch]], and the [[Messengers (species)|messengers]], then even further in time to House Abaddon, where the AU mostly takes place. A bonus, final track on the album wraps up the story from the first half.

Initial base compositions of the tracks were generated using AI tool AIVA, then manually re-arranged note-by-note and re-performed by hand on a MIDI keyboard by [[NeonWabbit|Darien Brice Dickinson]] using the Native Instruments Kontakt 7 instrument library and original human-written lyrics and narration were added and performed to most songs, to decrease the amount of AI involvement, increase the amount of original human work put into the album, make it "less offensive to human ears", and have it so that anything inspired by the AI-generated output didn't just "sound like a keysmash".
As the focus of the project shifted to the story, rather than the music itself, initial base compositions of the tracks were not composed by hand, but rather generated using the AI tool AIVA, then manually re-arranged note-by-note and re-performed on a MIDI keyboard by [[NeonWabbit|Darien Brice Dickinson]] using the Native Instruments Kontakt 7 instrument library, and original human-written lyrics and narration were then added and performed to most songs to decrease the amount of AI involvement in the final project, make it "less offensive to human ears", and have it so that anything inspired by the AI-generated output didn't just "sound like a keysmash".
 
The album is to be made available for free, as it is fanart centred around characters not owned by NeonWabbit, it includes works generated by AI, and was only made to test the current process of recording, mastering, and releasing an entire album.
