Stories from Väruld
Stories from the world of Väruld.
Whispers of poems, fragments of lore, and echoes of distant journeys. Some tales unfold in moments, others across many paths. Voices shaped by AI bring the realm to life — diverse, timeless, and just beyond the veil of reality. Updated weekly.
Väruld is a fantasy world I have created, which also includes books with detailed descriptions and novels.
All stories (unless otherwise stated) are written by me, Désirée Nordlund.

You are listening to stories from Väruld. In this episode, Bbehind the scenes of this podcast, part 3.
HostThis time, writer will answer a question from one of the listeners. As before, I have the writer, Désirée Nordlund, with me, represented by an AI voice. Welcome, Désirée.
AI-DésiréeThank you. And thanks for listening to my podcast.
HostWe have a question from a listener who asks what this podcast is about. Is there a story somewhere?
AI-DésiréeYes and no. The intention of this podcast is to give short atmospheric glimpses of another world. You don't have to understand everything or be able to piece it all together. In the long run, I hope to have transferred an image that may not be complete, but feel like you have an understanding for Väruld .
HostAre those pieces from travel journals part of a larger work? Have you written more of the journals?
AI-DésiréeSo far it's only in my head. The people writing the journals are all from the library in Kennis. Their mission is to find and store knowledge. They travel around the planet writing what they see and hear as objectively as possible, and then the journals are stored in the library. The library is known all over the planet, and their traveling writers are well respected in most places. I will write a whole journal. Or two, all in due time.
HostI hope you will. That was all for today, good folks.
AI-DésiréeNew episodes every Thursday, and send me your questions. Thank you for today.
