CONTENT WARNING: The old folk tales often expressed dark and mature themes, and thus the Vaesen RPG explores such themes as well. This is a horror game and not suitable for children, at least not without the Gamemaster first modifying the content.

Vaesen – Welcome to the Mythic North.

In dark forests, beyond the mountains, by black lakes in hidden groves. At your doorstep. In the shadows, something stirs. Strange beings. Twisted creatures, lurking at the edge of vision. Watching. Waiting. Unseen by most, but not by you. You see them for what they really are. Vaesen.

Welcome to the Mythic North – northern Europe of the nineteenth century, but not as we know it today. A land where the myths are real. A cold reach covered by vast forests, its few cities lonely beacons of industry and enlightenment – a new civilization dawning. But in the countryside, the old ways still hold sway. There, people know what lurks in the dark.

They know to fear it.
