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.

Journal Entry
Standalone episode — no prior listening required.
A traveller’s journal entry from the outer reaches. Some places do not welcome the living, though they make no effort to turn them away. Ice of the Returned is such a place: a dwelling shaped as much by what has ended there as by those who still pass through its halls. To step inside is not merely to arrive, but to be measured against the silence left behind.
