Väruld - part 1
A downloadable world core book
Discover a new world for your TTRPG game nights!
Introducing the RPG core book that will take your game master skills to the next level!
Become a game master legend with this one-of-a-kind RPG core book.
Why settle for an ordinary TTRPG game night when you could be transported to a whole new world?
Väruld - meaning 'world' in Old Swedish (Fornsvenska) - is a whole solar system with three habitable planets.
This book takes on the overall situation with the Allvaldughers, the lore, the human races, and what it means when a season lasts a lifetime. Then it moves to one of the planets - Fyrst - and gets into detail about three of the areas there.
You get maps of the areas, geography, history, and descriptions of towns, villages, and other points of interest.
This is a core book for any Game Master planning a campaign in a classic medieval fantasy environment with some perks.
The sun in the solar system is much bigger than ours. This means it takes about three hundred Earth years for the planets to orbit the sun. A season lasts a lifetime.
These things are addressed in the book, what it means for age, language, measuring time, and more.
It is also a place where magic exists. Most magicians are just tricksters without any real skill. A skilled, trained wizard can do almost anything. It has a cost, though, in stamina and a resulting imbalance that needs to be restored. Magic is not common. Not even wizards use it every day.

The Allvaldughers are the gods in this world. Three of them created the planets and a human race each, which they placed on different planets.
The word 'Allvaldughers' means 'allmighties' in Old Swedish.
Even if there are other religions in Väruld as well, the belief in the Allvaldughers is dominating. The lore and legends about them are common knowledge.
The book is part 1. It includes a description of three areas - three countries - on one of the three planets. The areas are Droyma, Gulhuva, and Kanohi.
The three areas are different in their characters.
Droyma is a country with a lot of tension between the cities and between villagers. It's an area for adventures with a lot of interaction with people.

Gulhuva, with all its history, is almost abandoned due to environmental changes. Here you can search for lost legends and items.

Kanohi is like a port to the rest of the world, being in its center. It is also the place for one of the portals that leads to one of the other planets. It also has social issues.
VTT - RPG Stories
In the package is also a project file for the virtual tabletop engine RPG Stories, which includes maps, contents from the book, the city of Midväkt, and a forest with lots of secrets. This file will be updated as RPG Stories develops (at least to a certain point).
