Why choose Väruld?

In Väruld, magic is rare and boundless. Only a few can wield it, and for them, the only limit is their strength—but every spell must be balanced, or the consequences will ripple through the land. 

Time flows differently here. A single orbit of Väruld’s sun takes 300 Earth-years, and there are no 'years' as we know them. Life is lived by the rhythms of nature—by seasons, cycles, and stories passed down through generations. How would you mark your age in such a world? What would a journal look like without a calendar? 

Väruld is system agnostic, a sandbox ready for your stories, written or created during the tabletop RPG sessions.

Droyma

Droyma is one country on planet Fyrst, one of three planets in Väruld. It is a country of soaring mountains, rugged coasts, and a sprawling steppe that dips below sea level into an otherworldly salt swamp. Its medieval-like towns and villages are nestled into cliffs and valleys, where life is as harsh as it is beautiful. Farmers till fields along riverbanks, fishermen cast nets into misty bays, extractors of pigments work in icy climat, and merchants bring life to bustling marketplaces. Droyma is a land where people must adapt to their surroundings—because here, nature rules supreme.

The use of AI

The illustrations are collages of images and clipart, and three of the images are generated by ChatGPT (Dall-E). I've also bought plenty of images that I use in the collages, and I cannot vouch for if they used AI or not. The collages as such are not made by AI.
