Of Empires Forlon is an album by the American doom metal band While Heaven Wept. The album was released in 3 different editions by 3 different labels. The respective track listings appear below. The major difference between the 3 is that the Eibon Records version contains the instrumental track "From Empires to Oceans," while the Rage of Achilles Records and Rock Machine Records editions contain the track, "In Aeturnum." Otherwise, the remaining differences between the 3 are minor aspects of the front cover and the formatting of the liner notes/lyrics. Pictured to the right is the Rage of Achilles Records edition.
