Vaesen , A Taste of Nordic Folk Horror!

About the adventure

Welcome to the mysterious and mystical world of 19th century Scandinavia. Here, in the city of Upsala, was the headquarters of a strange group known simply as the Society. Well at least for those who truly knew of them. Castle Gyllencreutz has been absent of people for the last ten years however it has not been forgotten. The keys to this castle rest in the hands of one Linnea Elfeklint, strangely enough a resident of the local mental asylum. And why is that? Why would what these people do for a living be such a secret? Why would one of it's remaining members contently stay at such a place? Perhaps it has to do with what you have gained recently due to your own mystery, your own terrible trauma. The Sight. The ability to see that which is unseen to all others. You have looked under the bed and you have seen monsters. You have seen the Vaesen. And for your own reason you have decided to dedicate yourself to dealing with them when so very few can. You know enough that if left unchecked, Vaesen can cause horrible calamities. Not all are evil but still unless dealt with properly, all can be dangerous. So you have gathered with other like minded individuals, people like you who have the sight, and discovered the purpose of the former Society. A purpose you and those like you will take up again. - To find the Vaesen wherever they may be - To then identify it - Then use all that is at your disposal to deal with it, one way or another But will you survive these encounters? And even if you do...will you be you anymore? Or will you be nothing but a broken and mad husk never to live normally ever again? Come one and come all to a beautiful and deadly world focused on investigation and roleplay above all else. Combat can indeed happen but often it might be just to buy you enough time to learn what you must do to banish or put the Vaesen to rest. Your wits , instincts , skills of observation, and sheer willpower will be your greatest weapons in dealing with the mystical creatures of this world. Just remember there is horror and it can get oh so very dark. I will be running the mystery included with the core as well as collections contained in The Lost Mountain Saga, A Wicked Secret , and Seasons of Mystery. I will also be putting in work to add my own mysteries to the mix.
