Do any of you guys know of any good plugins, samples or soundfonts that'd be ideal for making Medieval & Dungeon Synth music? I'm after both realistic and synthetic sounds. I'm looking for all kinds of medieval instruments, predominantly European ones.
I actually bought Era 2 Medieval Legends from Best Service a while back (Windows/Mac software) but I could never get it to activate on Linux due to the crappy DRM it has. They told me they're working on a Linux client for their libraries (ENGINE) but I'm tired of waiting for the day I can get it working as it's holding back my new project which I've been meaning to start for years now. So, I want to find something else to use for now. I actually use FL Studio via Wine so I'm open to Windows software if it works via Wine/doesn't have really strict DRM. Linux software is fine too.
Any suggestions?
Thankya.

I have a couple of "Celtic" libraries for sale that might be useful for you - https://librewave.com/
And some others here if you have Kontakt - https://xtant-audio.com/

Re: Plugins/samples for Medieval/Dungeon Synth music?
When you buy Pianoteq you get all kinds of "old" instruments as a free bonus. They're included in the demo as well, as far as I can recall.
Medieval/Dungeon Synth music? You mean like In Slaughter Natives, Arcana, the stuff Varg Vikernes of Burzum did while in jail?

Thanks for the suggestion. I'm looking into pianoteq 
Dungeon Synth is basically the medieval style synthetic bits of music you sometimes hear on black metal albums but more so the stuff from 20+ years ago. That's a bit of a simple explanation but it gives you a good idea.
By the way, can you guys recommend some good Linux, open source SFZ & Soundfont players which I can run as a plugin? I want to sort through a load of libraries I've downloaded but I don't know the best tools to play them with as I normally make music with FL Studio via Wine. I'm having a go at using Linux software for my new project
