Of Wars in Osyrhia is the debut album by Fairyland, released on April 21, 2003 by N.T.S. It was the only release of the band featuring the band's co-creator, bassist and songwriter, Willdric Lievin, before he came back in 2015, although he was a guest on the 2009 album Score to a New Beginning. The album has received mixed-to-positive feedback from reviewers for its "Rhapsodian Metal" sound, with some comparing it to Rhapsody of Fire and Dark Moor,[5] with the latter band's ex-vocalist Elisa Martin providing lead vocals for this album.[6]
