The Dance of Dreams

About the adventure

Fifty years ago, some of the Society’s members held a secret meeting at the Witch Cat Inn south of Upsala. They had come to realize things about vaesen and the supernatural forces in Scandinavia that they were afraid to share with the rest of the Society. The purpose of the meeting was to devise a plan that would change the future of Scandinavia forever. The people who met at the Witch Cat Inn fifty years ago were three of the Society’s most experienced members, Albert Wredenhielm, Katja Kokola, and Hilma af Thulenstierna. They were there to meet a young man who had recently joined the organization. His name was Oscar Hjort, and they wanted him to play a crucial part in the chain of events they were about to set in motion. Also present was the Witch Cat’s innkeeper, Pyri Harjula – a fellow Thursday’s Child on board with the plan. Pyri had on several occasions acted as a bodyguard for the three of them, and was instructed to use force to erase all traces of the meeting, should Oscar prove unwilling to cooperate. Instead of joining and helping the three senior members of the Society, Oscar reacted with outrage and contempt. He declared that he would expose their secrets to the other members of the Society and stormed out of the inn. Pyri snuck after him and slit his throat. Oscar was buried in the root cellar behind the inn, and his body was prepared with magic so that, even in death, he would serve his intended purpose in Albert, Katja, and Hilma’s plans.
