Recorded as a soundtrack to Vikernes' role-playing game MYFAROG, the album follows the medieval/dark ambient musical style of the previous albums. Vikernes said of Thulêan Mysteries:
"Since my true passion has never been music, but actually tabletop role-playing games, I figured I should make this an album intended for that use; as background music for my own MYFAROG (Mythic Fantasy Role-playing Game)."[2]
The album's artwork is by Norwegian artist Theodor Kittelsen called "Nøkken".[3]
The song "The Loss of Thulê" is a re-recorded version of the song "The Crying Orc" (from Burzum's 1992 album Burzum, which also has another re-recorded version "Der weinende Hadnur" from Burzum's 1999 album Hliðskjálf) and the song "Skin Traveller" is a re-recorded version of the song "Han som reiste" (from Burzum's 1993 album Det som engang var).
