About Maantje's Mystical Emporium
It is difficult to say whether it is the shopkeep, inventory, or the building itself for which the emporium has developed its reputation, but the combined effect is certainly not one onlookers forget easily.
Maantje’s Mystical Emporium is a large stone building shaped in the form of a hand. When unmoving, its fingers extend skyward.
When on the move the hand uses its fingers to crawl along the earth or in some cases, utilizes Maantje’s arcane prowess to shift to another plane.
If fortunate enough to happen upon the emporium, visitors may encounter magical wares they are unlikely to find anywhere else throughout the realm (provided they have the coin, of course).
The same can be said for Maantje herself whose appetite for salesmanship is only rivaled by her curiosity of new mysteries, items, and gossip.
This is yet another collab with the amazing and talented Tyler from Venatus Maps. He’s a legend among map creators, having worked on so many iconic maps. And it was an honor to have written music for one of his creations. Make sure to check his amazing collection of maps at https://www.venatusmaps.com/archive and on his Patreon.

Common Questions
Licensing & Usage FAQ
Everything you need to know before using my music in your projects.
- Is the music totally free?
- Yes — free tracks are tagged as free and yours to use as long as you credit me as the composer. Check the license info page for proper attribution details.
- How do I credit you?
- Simply name Ivan Duch as the composer wherever the music is used — in video descriptions, credits screens, show notes, etc. Full attribution guide here.
- What is royalty-free music?
- Royalty-free means you pay once (or in this case, just credit me) for a license to use the music — not on a per-use basis. You're free to use it across multiple projects.
- What rights do I get?
- A non-exclusive license to use the music in your projects. You may not redistribute or sell the tracks as standalone audio files or albums.
- What are Stems?
- Stems are individual instrument tracks (brass, woodwinds, percussion, etc.) from a song. They let you mix the music to fit your scene. Stems are available for Patrons.
- Do you offer exclusive licenses?
- Yes. If you need original, exclusive music for a film, game, or other project, visit the commissions page. Terms can be tailored to your project's needs.
- Can I use the music without crediting you?
- Attribution is required on every license — credit Ivan Duch as the composer wherever attribution is possible. The only exception is media where attribution isn’t practical (live podcasts, live events), where it may be omitted. Contact me if you need a special arrangement.
- Is there a written license?
- Yes — you can find the full written license on the licensing page. It protects you if someone ever falsely claims the music. See the copyright page for more.
