"Epistle 82 - Hvila vid denna källa" is hauntingly beautiful, just voice and strings in quiet conversation. "Epistle 48 - Solen glimmar blank och trind" has more warmth, almost celebratory. "Epistle 5 - Käre bröder" is basically a drinking song and feels like it.
Twelve epistles total, all performed with period-appropriate instrumentation. They rotate into the game naturally and completely change the atmosphere when they come on. Suddenly your empire management feels... human. For anyone who wants their Sweden campaign to come with its own folk concert.
