It all started with one song in Tolkien's Quenya elvish and has grown to include many different cultures - real and imagined. Rehtaeh is the true voice of the human spirit.
Rehtaeh has joined the developers of Chimera to bring unique and original
music to your gaming experience. The songs used for Chimera will be available on CD in our online store in the future.

Performing under the name “Rehtaeh” (pronounced reh-tay-yuh), Heather Downing is a Southern California native who uprooted to the midwest to focus more on writing and exploring her own unique musical style. Since the move a few years ago she has become a featured solo act at the Kansas City Renaissance Festival and chose that venue to release her demo CD, “The Contemplation”, the first full album "Awakened" and most recently her sophmore project "ElementAria". She has collaborated with a wide range of musicians and songwriters to obtain the best possible sound experience.
Middle-earth Radio has included Rehtaeh’s music in its song list of more than 1,000-related Tolkien-inspired songs and have featured several songs from her albums on past episodes of Middle-earth Talk Radio.
