The Ristaccia CD cover
The first official Epic of Zektbach music CD released in March 29, 2009, Ristaccia tells the tale of the eponymous jewel's discovery, followed by war for its pieces, before setting the plot of Chapters 1 through 4 - with the exception of track number twelve and its corresponding video, related to a character whose story is told in the next music album.

Cover art analysis[]
| Speculation This section contains suppositions. None of it is official information. |
The album's cover features eight characters, who are, from top to bottom and left to right, Lien, L'erisia, Joah, Sigma, Hannes, Nox, Shamshir, and Matin. These characters appear in front of two clouds of smoke floating in darkness : one above, gray, and the other one purple, below.
The gray cloud represents the realm of transcendence. The four topmost characters comprise Lien and Joah, two transcendental beings, L'erisia, a primary force of the world, transcendent by default, and Sigma, a superhuman memeplex close to transcendence. All but Lien have their eyes shut, perhaps to signify their alignment with meme. Additionally, and for an unknown reason, L'erisia and Joah are depicted as turning their backs to each other, while they are normally portrayed as extremely close.
The purple cloud, being the color of Ristaccia, is the realm of meme. All characters in its area possess a Ristaccia sword, and all suffer because of L'erisia's influence. While Nox and Matin, two halves of a transcendental being, can break free by reuniting, as indicated by their vertical alignment culminating with Nox's sword touching the gray cloud, Hannes and Shamshir, both completely under Ristaccia's control, are isolated from the upper part, with their swords pointing downwards.
