Holistic creator and polymath
Väruld is a living fantasy world built for stories.
It is a growing setting focused on exploration, human interaction, and long-form worldbuilding. Väruld can be used as a tabletop role-playing world, but it is equally suited for short stories and novels — a shared foundation for many kinds of storytelling.
The world is developed openly and continuously. What you see here is part of an ongoing creative process: what is currently being worked on, what is planned, and what has already taken shape.
The name Väruld comes from Old Swedish (Fornsvenska), meaning “world”. The setting encompasses an entire solar system with three habitable planets. The focus so far is Fyrst, explored through a growing series of books, one country at a time.
These books contain maps, geography, history, cultures, and detailed descriptions of cities, villages, and people. While conflict exists, the heart of Väruld lies in exploration, society, and the choices people make within a living world.

What is Väruld?
Answer:
Väruld is an original fantasy world built from the ground up, where history, cultures, and magic systems are developed as part of an evolving narrative rather than a fixed setting. It is designed to feel like a living world, where stories, myths, and perspectives shape what is true. Väruld is a low-magic sandbox setting, without specific rules, system-agnostic.
What kind of fantasy is Väruld?
Answer:
Väruld leans toward grounded, immersive fantasy with a focus on internal logic, cultural depth, and consequence. Rather than relying on classic tropes, it explores how societies, beliefs, and power structures emerge naturally within the world.
How does magic work in Väruld?
Answer:
Magic in Väruld is not a simple tool but a force tied to knowledge, perception, and limitation. It is often misunderstood, and many charlatans exist, as well as talents who have never had formal training. This creates tension, ambiguity, and different interpretations across the world. Väruld is low-magic, but magic exists, and can be the solution as well as the cause of the problem.
Does Väruld have a single main storyline?
Answer:
No, Väruld is not built around a single linear story. Instead, it consists of multiple perspectives, events, and narratives that together form a larger, interconnected picture of the world. Some stories overlap, while others reveal different truths about the same events.
What makes Väruld different from other fantasy worlds?
Answer:
Väruld is designed as an evolving system rather than a finished product. Its lore is not just presented—it is discovered, questioned, and sometimes contradicted. This approach creates a sense of realism, where knowledge is incomplete and shaped by those who tell it. Väruld also has a unique way to look upon time, as the planet takes so long to orbit the sun.
