televassi did this meme sometime ago, and I decided to give it a try since it seemed to be fun. The challenge is, to quote his journal, "to take existing music from the internet that is as close as possible to a character, faction, or piece of art you've made!"

Following are the music I found fitting to the Occidental Empire, factions and important cities within her, and her immediate nighbors in my fictional world, around the time when the great war between Hui and Jandaharids were going through a temporary lull, and humans made their first contact with the canids not long ago. While I would have liked to do this with eastern factions as well, I couldn't find decent music for them. Also, at first I tried to exclude music with human voices or wind instruments in it, as canids, being creatures with muzzle, probably wouldn't be able to make human like voices or blow air. But I realized that it only made a task hard enough by itself more difficult, and had to compromise.
