King of the Nordic Twilight is the debut studio album by the Italian musician Luca Turilli. It was released in 1999 through Limb Music Productions.
Track 11 is unlisted on any form of the album. It is an a cappella rendition of a traditional Icelandic song by soprano Rannveig Sif Sigurdardottir. Sometimes the track is referred to by her name, or as "Lullaby", but the real name of this song is "Sofðu unga ástin mín" ("Sleep My Little Loved One")
A limited edition of the album was released as a digibook with an expanded booklet. A video for the song "The Ancient Forest of Elves" is included as a hidden feature on the disc.
